Welcome to the MS in Recreation web page.  The Saluki Tradition is strong, and this degree provides you with the skills to secure jobs in various recreation and clinical settings.  You can study full-time and expect to finish the degree in 2 years.  You will work with outstanding faculty who take great pride in working closely with students to prepare them both academically, professionally, and personally.  You can choose one of three options:  Recreation Resource Administration, Administration of Recreation and Park System, and Therapeutic Recreation.  The links below provide you with information about the requirements of the degree, costs, as well as links to some of our outstanding graduates.  If you should have any questions about the program or the application process, feel free to contact me (kittle@siu.edu) or Dr. Marjorie Malkin, the recreation graduate coordinator, at mmalkin@siu.edu.  

Hope to see you soon!
