The degree program in ORPT is intended to provide students with training that qualifies them to work in a variety of work settings including outdoor recreation management agencies, outdoor and experiential education organizations, outdoor tourism companies, and outdoor recreation service and instruction programs. Employment opportunities typically exist with local, state and national agencies, protected natural areas, outdoor leadership and service programs, commercial recreation enterprises, and wilderness adventure/therapy organizations. Combined with the broad educational background provided by SUUâ€™s Baccalaureate Core, this program will give students a wide range of opportunities upon graduation including solid preparation for graduate studies at Utah System of Higher Educationâ€™s Research I institutions in fields such as recreation resource management, parks and recreation, tourism; or related areas of graduate study. The Southern Utah University Outdoor Recreation in Parks and Tourism bachelorâ€™s program is unlike any program of its kind in the world. No other campus offers what you get from the SUU campus in beautiful Cedar City, Utah. Here, you are within half a dayâ€™s drive of 11 national parks, national monuments, and recreation areas, and within 100 miles of Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Grand Canyon National Park, and the Pine View Mountains. This means you are never far from incredible wilderness experiences where you can practice the skills that are at the core of your Outdoor Recreation bachelorâ€™s degree program.
