Recreation and Parks Management - Area of Concentration (A.o.C.) Sport Promotion and Communication Program Description
Frostburg University is proposing a substantial modification to modify the Bachelor of Bachelor of Science in Recreation and Parks Management to add an AoC in Sport Promotion and Communication.  Below is a brief program description: <br> <br>The Department of Kinesiology and Recreation at Frostburg State University (FSU) is proposing a substantial modification to the currently existing Bachelor of Science in Recreation and Parks Management (RPM) program, by adding a new area of concentration in Sport Promotion and Communication. This program will focus on sport related professions, which is an area of focus that recreation and park professionals often pursue. <br> <br>The combination of demand, job opportunities, and use of Maryland ACM has led FSU to propose a Sport Promotion and Communication concentration housed within the Recreation and Parks Management program to meet the needs of Maryland students, to expand opportunities for students within the RPM program and provide professionals for the industry growth within the state of Maryland. The proposed curriculum will consist of 39 credits of disciple courses, with an additional 27 credits specifically geared towards Sport Promotion and Communication.  <br>
