Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor's degree in leisure, sport and tourism management, completed over four years through a mix of lectures, seminars, case studies, field visits, and research projects, together with a required practical internship in the leisure, sport, or tourism sector. Core coursework covers leisure studies, community dynamics, therapeutic recreation, program development, recreational space planning, the economic and marketing dimensions of the field, and research methodology, with electives available in sports management, volunteer coordination, inclusive and therapeutic leisure programming, and tourism demand. Supporting courses in financial accounting, management, communication, and descriptive statistics round out the curriculum alongside general education requirements. The first year is completed at the Edmundston campus, with the remaining years at Moncton. The program is designed to build critical thinking and research skills for studying and managing leisure, sport, and tourism activities, suiting students interested in management or programming roles across these sectors.

English proficiency is addressed generically through course ANGL1022 or a higher level depending on a placement test.

No entrance tests, portfolio, or reference letters are stated as required for this program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Canadian and permanent-resident applicants apply directly to Université de Moncton by recurring annual deadlines that carry no published calendar year: 31 August for autumn-term entry and 5 January for winter-term entry, with the Baccalauréat en science infirmière (Nursing) and Baccalauréat en design intérieur due 1 February, and the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at the Moncton campus or 30 June at Shippagan/Edmundston. International applicants must apply by 31 May for autumn entry and 30 September for winter entry, with the 16-month Baccalauréat en éducation due 1 February at Moncton or 31 May at Shippagan/Edmundston. Applications received after these dates are automatically deferred to the following session, and Université de Moncton may close applications earlier if volume is high, so admission is firm rather than rolling. The admissions page's only calendar-year reference is to the Automne 2026 term already under way (registration closes 4 September 2026, classes begin 9 September 2026), which places the source's current context in the 2026-27 academic year; the next occurrences of the recurring deadlines above therefore fall in Hiver 2027 and Automne 2027. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
