A tremendous growth in the resort industry has expanded the career opportunities for our department's graduates.

The professional preparation that Slippery Rock gives its students enables them to meet the challenges of programming special events, planning recreation activities for conference groups and developing new facilities. Classes in public relations, leadership, administration, and business supplement our students' marketability along with internships, which are available in many four-season resorts across the country.
