REQUIRED CHECKLIST FOR ALL CURRICULAR PROPOSALS
Course or Program___ERS: Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation option_(ERCR)______________
This checklist enables A2C2 representatives to endorse that their departments have accurately followed the Process for
Accomplishing Curricular Change. For each course or program proposal submitted to A2C2, this checklist must be completed, signed
by the submitting department's A2C2 representative, and included with the proposal when forwarded for approval. Peer review of
proposals is also strongly advised, e.g., departments should discuss and vote on the proposals as submitted to A2C2, rather than on just
the ideas proposed or drafts of proposals.
If a proposal fails to follow or complete any aspect of the process, the Course and Program Proposal Subcommittee will postpone
consideration of the proposal and return it to the department's A2C2 representative for completion and resubmission. Resubmitted
proposals have the same status as newly submitted proposals.

PROPOSAL FOR REVISED PROGRAMS AND NEW PROGRAMS
Use this form to submit proposals for revised majors, minors, concentrations, options, etc.
Note: A department, with its dean’s approval, may change up to two courses per year within an existing major, minor, concentration,
option, etc., per year without seeking review of A2C2 and/or graduate Council, provided that (1) the total credits do not increase or
decrease for the major, minor, concentration, option, etc., and (2) the change does not affect other departments or the University
Studies Program. A2C2 and/or Graduate Council do, however, wish to be informed of these changes. Use form Notifications.
If a department wishes to make more extensive revisions to an existing major, minor, concentration, option, etc., complete and submit
this form with the appropriate number of copies. Refer to Regulation 3-4, Policy for Changing the Curriculum, for complete
information on submitting proposals for curricular changes.

A. Statement of major focus and objectives of the revised program:
EXERCISE AND REHABILITATIVE SCIENCES: CARDIOPULMONARY REHABILITATION (ERCR)
This clinically focused exercise physiology major has several career-related tracks. Its primary purpose 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. Hospitals and/or clinics 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. Practical
clinical experiences in our on-campus cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program and at Community Memorial Hospital (Winona,
MN) are required. 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.asep.org/.
HERS 389 Strength & Conditioning no longer meets the needs of the graduates in Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation.
There is a documented need of additional exercise programming with emphasis on special populations.
B. New Catalog Content
The new catalog content is shown below in part C. This includes dropping HERS 389 Strength & Conditioning (3 SH) from the core
and adding the new course HERS 402 Advanced Fitness Programming (2 SH) to the option, resulting in a credit decrease from 76 to
75 overall.
C. Description of Revisions, to include
1.
2.
3.
A display of current program requirements next to proposed new requirements for clear, easy comparison.
A clear identification of each proposed change.
The following information for each required or elective course:
a. Course number and name,
b. A brief course description, and
c. A brief statement explaining why the program should include the course.

FINANCIAL AND STAFFING DATA SHEET
Course or Program__ERS: Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation option (ERCR)________________________________
Include a Financial and Staffing Data Sheet with any proposal for a new course, new program, or revised program.
Please answer the following questions completely. Provide supporting data.
1.
Would this course or program be taught with existing staff or with new or additional staff? If this course would be taught by
adjunct faculty, include a rationale.
Existing faculty will teach the new course that is part of this program revision.
2.
What impact would approval of this course/program have on current course offerings? Please discuss number of sections of
current offerings, dropping of courses, etc.
In order to offer this new course for the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation major, the department is combining sections of our
introductory HERS 280 Techniques of fitness programming course. Instead of offering three 2-credit sections, we will combine the 3
sections into one larger lecture and 3 lab sections. By combining lecture sections, this provides the department with the required two
credits to offer this proposed class.
3.
What effect would approval of this course/program have on the department supplies? Include data to support expenditures for
staffing, equipment, supplies, instructional resources, etc.
This should have minimal cost to departmental supplies (e.g. normal use and wear of exercise/lab equipment, printing). Similarly, by
combining HERS 280 Techniques of fitness programming lecture sections (as described above), this would require no additional
staffing costs.
