elcome prospective and continuing graduate students interested in the dynamic and exciting field of recreation, parks and tourism studies.

Our program is located within one of the most renowned, eco-friendly, culturally diverse urban centers in the USA, surrounded by a large national park and marine preserve, redwood forests and home to rich cultural resources. These offer a fantastic "living laboratory" for students, a myriad of job opportunities and a wonderful place to live.

Since 1946 our flexible Graduate Program has been helping students move up in their careers, securing professional positions in our field, assisting our diverse communities and advancing the state of knowledge in our profession.

We encourage prospective students to look over materials in this website and then contact our department, or our graduate program coordinator, Dr. Patrick Tierney, for questions or to apply for admission.
