In addition to career opportunities in such fields as health and/or recreation planning and administration, sports medicine, commercial recreation, community health education, speech-language pathology, audiology, corporate physical fitness, and tourism management, certain programs may serve as a first step toward careers in medicine, business, and journalism, among others.
