Overview

3-Term Pathway - International Year One - Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration: International Year One allows students to take credited SF State preparation courses alongside additional academic and English language instruction. The vast range of credit courses on offer allows first-year students to both discover new fields and further explore already strong subjects. Once International Year One is completed, students proceed directly to their second year of degree study at SF State. Bachelor of Science - Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration: The Recreation, Parks, and Tourism (RPT) Department at SF State, in existence since 1946, has established a reputation for excellence. From distinguished faculty with extensive experience in teaching, research, and service, to a dynamic curriculum based on comprehensive feedback from students, alumni, current trends, and an advisory board of RPT professionals, students acquire the knowledge and skills to: Engineer Experiences that Engage, Empower, and Educate. One of the program’s most important resources for faculty and the curriculum is the diversity and vitality of the San Francisco Bay Area. The number of agencies, institutions, and leisure enterprises makes the region a hands-on classroom and living laboratory for public, private, and nonprofit recreation; local, state, and national parks; and domestic and international tourism. The department offers a Bachelor of Science in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration, which is accredited by the National Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism (COAPRT). Accreditation provides many benefits including credibility and broader recognition within the academic and professional community. The RPT program delivers academic content that is current, relevant, and experiential. The curriculum leads to a 400-hour, 15-unit, full-time internship at one of 400+ approved RPT organizations. This culminating experience often leads to continued employment and a career in RPT.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
