Progression Summary
this program places graduates at the intersection of two growing, exciting, and globally significant areas of theory and practice: leisure and sustainability. the program prepares emerging leaders to examine and create solutions which ensure that residents and travelers alike can enjoy recreational experiences, natural and cultural amenities, heritage resources, and adventure as part of their life experiences on a sustainable basis. students will engage in coursework delivered in a non–traditional, international educational setting where the instructional approach draws upon field experience, classroom instruction, and experiential styles of learning. two integrated instructional streams are central to the program focus:
- a set of principles and practices underlying leisure and sustainability and
- an integrated set of research capabilities, innovation, and knowledge mobilization skills necessary to ensure that new knowledge can be effectively transformed into impact.
there is also a required thesis component wherein students will demonstrate a mastery of knowledge mobilization approaches (including, but not limited to, research skills).
graduates can pursue careers in government, private sector, non–governmental organizations, non–profit organizations, regulatory agencies, higher education, and consultancies. the position titles for the careers in this field include sustainability officers, analysts, managers, coordinators, and directors. graduates will have strong communication skills, analytical ability, critical thinking and problem–solving ability, along with a customer orientation. the curriculum strongly supports individuals involved in planning, policy development, research, administration, and the teaching of those subjects in post–secondary institutions.
