MTSU alum Rainone works as Tennessee State Parks ranger
Graduate Shaun Rainone (’14) is a park ranger at Panther Creek State Park, where he is developing a birds of prey program. He previously worked with the Jr. Ranger field team for Tennessee State Parks and visited schools as state parks mascot Ramble the Racoon alongside Titans mascot T-Rac. Rainone also was a ranger in summer programs and showed kids why snakes and birds of prey are important and protected. He worked with a rescue bald eagle from Reelfoot Lake State Park during the 2015 Titans draft party (pictured). Many Leisure, Sport, and Tourism Studies courses relate to his current work, but he cites a field study course at Radnor Lake State Natural Area as crucial to his future. He also studied abroad in Europe. “Many of the things I learned along the way are now being taught to youngsters and people throughout Tennessee,” he says.
Explore a world of opportunities
After graduating with an associate degree, Alexandria Willocks had no desire to obtain a bachelor's degree. The MTSU senior is thankful that the Leisure, Sports, and Tourism Studies major caught her attention. “While in this major I have learned more than I thought possible. I have been able to study tourism in post-Soviet Union Czech Republic and Poland and wine tourism in Canada,” she says. “The firsthand experience opportunities give students real skills that they will need after graduation. I am so thankful I found this major when I did and I'm proud to be a part of it!”
The exciting Leisure, Sport, and Tourism Studies program offers a range of career opportunities from recreation and sport and tourism management to outdoor leadership. This ever-changing field requires skilled, versatile professionals with expertise in customer service and personnel management.

Important Information Regarding Degree Mills
Please watch this important video (http://youtu.be/a1voHNMQDrk) regarding degree and accreditation mills. According to CHEA, "Degree mills and accreditation mills mislead and harm. In the United States, degrees and certificates from mills may not be acknowledged by other institutions when students seek to transfer or go to graduate school. Employers may not acknowledge degrees and certificates from degree mills when providing tuition assistance for continuing education. “Accreditation” from an accreditation mill can mislead students and the public about the quality of an institution. In the presence of degree mills and accreditation mills, students may spend a good deal of money and receive neither an education nor a useable credential."Read more on CHEA's website (http://www.chea.org/degreemills/).
