National
Reputation
Longwood invites
you to be a part of one of the finest curricula
in Therapeutic Recreation in the United States,
and to prepare for a rewarding career opportunity
in a helping profession. We offer a four year
undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor
of Science in Therapeutic Recreation. The curriculum
blends comprehensive general education courses
with professional-preparation courses and relevant
practical experiences. This assures that each
graduate has a sufficient background in the
liberal arts and is also a competent Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist, ready to meet the demands
of a professional life as well as national certification
standards. As a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist,
you will be involved in the assessment of leisure
needs and interests, and in the design and
implementation of programs and activities that
promote the physical, social, emotional, and
mental well-being of individuals with disabilities.
The outcomes of therapeutic recreation are geared
toward the development and maintenance of meaningful
and satisfying leisure experiences.

was re-accredited in 1987, 1992,1997 and 2002.
