BA (History)/Honours Bachelor of Outdoor Recreation

Outdoor recreation plays an increasingly important role in contemporary lives, contributing to health, family cohesion, enrichment of culture, environmental appreciation, and economic development. Lakehead takes advantage of its location, with nearby mountains, lakes and trails. Students will be exposed to a variety of landscapes, weather patterns, and populations through field trips and outdoor schools. Students may pursue one of the three concentrations - outdoor leadership, parks or tourism - offered by the School. Also available are three double degree programs, offered jointly by the School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism and each of the following departments: the Department of Biology; the Department of Geography; the Department of History; and the Department of Women's Studies.
