The Health, Exercise & Rehabilitative Sciences (HERS) Internship Program provides significant experiential learning opportunities valuable to a student’s professional development.  The field experience provides a means of reinforcing and enhancing academic preparation, while interns actively apply knowledge and skills in a real work environment.  Through cooperative planning and implementation in partnership with the internship agency (site), the Department requires the following internships to eligible degree candidates:
HERS 496     Community Health 10 credits
HERS 497     Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation 8 credits
HERS 499     Exercise Science 8 credits
Our handbook has been designed to assist Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation, Exercise Science and Community Health majors in the procedural aspects involved in successful acquisition and completion of the “capstone” internship experience.
The internship experience serves as a practical vehicle of transition for students to make the change from classroom to work place settings.  With the structured environment of a university approved agency/site and under the direct supervision of a university approved professional in the field, the student receives guidance in transitioning from the academic setting to the role of an employee in a “real life” worksite.
