Recreation Management and Policy Students
Students majoring in Recreation Management and Policy at UNH are a diverse
group. Our students come from a variety of places throughout the
United States and are key members of the UNH campus community. You
can find RMP majors working in the Hamel Recreation Center, playing
on the women’s lacrosse team, volunteering with Northeast
Passage, leading the Student Committee on Popular Entertainment
(SCOPE), serving as the student representative for a professional
association, renovating local playgrounds, serving as a personal
care attendant for a person with a spinal cord injury, conducting
research with faculty, starting on the UNH football team, and serving
as president of a sorority. While some RMP undergraduates enter
the program directly from high school as UNH Freshman, the vast
majority find the major after one or two years of coursework in
other academic programs. RMP majors are people-focused and action-oriented.
Coursework involves traditional classroom experiences, as well as
numerous service and experiential learning opportunities connected
to RMP classes.
RMP students at UNH are interested in many different aspects of the recreation and leisure services field, ranging from public parks and recreation, therapeutic recreation, resort management, youth development, commercial recreation, non-profit administration, recreational sport management, event planning, and outdoor recreation resources management.
