What it is	This program teaches you how to plan, run, and improve recreation and leisure services — from community programs to sports facilities to wellness initiatives. The therapeutic recreation stream adds training in how to use activity and recreation as treatment for people recovering from injury, illness, or mental health challenges. Co-op is built in, so you'll alternate between study terms and paid work placements in real recreation and health settings.	You study a subject like economics, anthropology, or Chinese alongside teacher training, so you earn both a Bachelor of Education and a Bachelor's degree in your chosen field. Unlike a regular education degree, this concurrent program embeds your subject expertise from day one rather than adding it separately. It suits people who know they want to teach and have a clear subject they're passionate about.
