In recent years society has placed increasing value on programs and services which improve peoples' quality of life. Individuals employed in the provision of Leisure, Sport and Tourism Services are among the primary contributors to this effort. At MTSU students majoring in Leisure, sport and Tourism Studies prepare for careers working with diverse populations in a wide range of settings.
