Each year, we produce a number of different types of college rankings to help students decide which school is the best fit for them. The parks and rec major at WPU is not ranked on College Factual’s Best Colleges and Universities for Parks & Rec. This could be for a number of reasons, such as not having enough data on the major or school to make an accurate assessment of its quality.
