Recreation, Parks and Tourism Admin

Sacramento State's Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration (RPTA) program is a beacon of opportunity in the heart of our vibrant capital region. For 70 years, we've been nurturing students who are passionate about creating memorable experiences that connect people to their community, nature, and each other.

As the oldest nationally accredited Recreation Administration program in the California State University system, we do more than teach—we inspire. Our program offers three unique bachelor of science degrees: Recreation Therapy, Recreation Administration, and Hospitality and Tourism Management. Students here don't just learn from textbooks; they gain real-world skills through hands-on experiences that prepare them to shape the Sacramento region's incredible landscape of cultural events, outdoor adventures, and community connections.

Sacramento is more than a city—it's a hub of diverse experiences, from our world-renowned music festivals to our rich cultural heritage and amazing food scene. Our students are the future architects of these experiences, bringing unique perspectives and a deep commitment to community service. By supporting the RPTA program, you're not just funding education—you're investing in the people who will create the experiences that make our region special.

Your generosity can transform student lives. With your support, we can provide scholarships, fund field experiences, and give students the tools they need to turn their passion into meaningful careers. Every donation helps our dedicated, driven students develop the skills to host visitors, create quality leisure activities, and make a lasting impact on our community.

Give today and help our students thrive. Your contribution isn't just a gift—it's an opportunity to support the next generation of community leaders who will continue to make Sacramento an incredible place to live and visit. Together, we can open doors, create possibilities, and build a brighter future.

Thank you for believing in our students and the power of education.
