EXERCISE AND REHABILITATIVE SCIENCE:CARDIOPULMONARY REHABILITATION (ERCR)
This clinically focused exercise physiology major has several career-related tracks. Its primary feature is to prepare students to care for individuals who suffer from cardiovascular and/or pulmonary disease utilizing a therapeutic program of exercise, risk factor reduction and education in a structured rehabilitation setting. A hospital and/or clinic are the primary employers. The curriculum is structured around the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) knowledge, skill, and ability learner outcomes; students are encouraged to sit for the ACSM (Exercise Specialist) certification exam after graduation. One hundred hours of clinical practical experience in our on-campus cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program and at Community Memorial Hospital (Winona, MN) is required late in the junior year. A 600-hour “capstone” clinical internship is also required when all coursework is complete. The internship site locations are national in scope of placement.

Many students who enter this field choose related allied health tracks for employment as a result of their practical and internship experience. Some further their education in a special clinical field (ultrasonography is one example). Our students are also satisfactorily employed in Stress Testing (nuclear included) labs, catheter labs, patient education positions, community rehabilitation programs, ECG fields, and other cardiovascular related specialties. More information can be obtained from www.acsm.org or www.css.edu/asep/.

Academic graduation requirements include:

  • Attain a "C" or better in all major courses.
  • Attain a 2.5 or better overall GPA.REQUIRED COURSES (27 S.H.)
