Testimonials

"CSUEB's recreation therapy program was a unique experience for me. The majority of classes offered included both in-class and online options so that students could have the time to gain real world experience in the field. The faculty and staff were always very helpful with any questions we may have and prepared us diligently for our future, such as providing networking opportunities with other professionals at conferences. I would highly recommend this program for aspiring recreation therapists who wish to be able to gain work experience in the field alongside their education."
