educators after they have finished other undergraduate programs and
have entered a career in another field, enabling a career change.

observe teaching techniques associated with an inquiry -based
curriculum.

Our CAPRA Nationally Accredited Partner
Our partners, the Richland County Recreation Commission (RCRC)
achieved the goal of becoming nationally accredited after investing two
very challenging years in the difficult process. There are over 19,000
parks and recreation agencies located throughout the US. Since the
accreditation program began seventeen years ago, only sixty-six of
these agencies have been able to meet the stringent requirements to
become accredited. Not only is RCRC one of the sixty-six, but have also
earned the distinction of being the first and only agency nationally
accredited in South Carolina. We are proud to have them as our
partners. Congratulations RCRC....job well done !
