Recreation, Tourism, and Hospitality Management
Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Recreation, Tourism, and Hospitality Management (RTH) at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. There have been many new and exciting initiatives and accomplishments among our students, alumni, faculty, and staff in the recent past.
Our department name, reflecting the merger between the Hospitality Management Program and Travel and Tourism Program is providing our reorganized unit a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary focus. Currently servicing approximately 275 students, this new configuration also supports our fast-growing master's program that serves 30 graduate students and 12 graduate assistants from across the U.S. and internationally.
With four new faculty hires in the past two years, we have become one of the
strongest RTH programs in the U.S. Soon to be twelve faculty strong, we are
a closely-knit group of educators and scholars committed to providing quality
education for students and professional development in the community. Our program
in recreation, parks, and tourism has been part of UNCG since 1947. Come visit
the RTH Department on campus at the Health and Human Performance Building (Suite
#420) to learn more about us, and how we may assist you in your career development
and future successes.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stuart J. Schleien, Professor and Department Head
