We take pride in the fact that our classroom instruction is supplemented by considerable hands-on practice of the skills and knowledge necessary to become a highly, competent practitioner. Every one of our academic programs provides the opportunity to immerse the student in situations that he or she will encounter in the real world.
Because of the hands-on experiences and the research our outstanding faculty and staff conduct, the School of Human Performance and Recreation is regionally and nationally known for its excellence in preparing students for their careers in the world of sport.
Continuing our path of excellence and to remain on the cutting edge of topics related to sport, we have added several new academic programs. In order to meet the needs and demands of our growing student body and the demands of the profession, we have also added fully online graduate courses and programs.
Despite our size, we make a great effort to help our students feel like they are part of the HP&R family. The University and the School provide many avenues for every student to become involved in campus life and to move their education beyond learning and into the realm of a great experience.
At the School of Human Performance and Recreation, we want each graduate to look back on the time spent here as being some of the best years of his or her life.
