For the Love of Nature
The Parks and Recreation Management (PRM) Department at SWOSU is as unique as the Oklahoma terrain itself. We are the only program in the region that focuses on Park Management, Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement, and Wildland Firefighting. We have the only CLEET Collegiate Officer Program in the western half of Oklahoma. Students graduate with both their degree and their full-time Oklahoma law enforcement certification. Our Wildland Fire Program leads to many federal wildland firefighting certifications through the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
