The Recreation Management program prepares students for employment in a wide variety of recreation and leisure settings. Students in the program may simultaneously or concurrently take classes from multiple campuses within the North Dakota University System. The program is organized around core courses that emphasize administration, program planning, and an understanding of the foundation of recreation. Students must complete all the core courses. In addition, students need to select one of the following focuses: Outdoor Recreation/Park Management or Commercial Recreation/Tourism.

First Year Experience

All new freshman students at Dakota College are required to enroll in UNIV 105 First Year Experience. An exception to this requirement will be made for transfer students who have earned 24 college-level credits prior to attending or who have successfully completed a similar freshman orientation course for credit at another higher education institution. The course orients students to college and examines topics that are important for student success and positive student outcomes.

Digital Literacy Requirement

All associate degrees offered by Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) require students to meet the digital literacy standard as identified in SBHE Policy 461. Students may accomplish this requirement through any of the following instructional methods: successful completion of one of the courses outlined in the DCB Digital Literacy policy, or successful completion of a non-credit self-paced module, or successful completion of an approved course through the Dakota Digital Academy, or successful completion of this requirement at another North Dakota University System (NDUS) institution.
