1 Marquette University 1 Exercise Physiology The Exercise Physiology major provides an academic program of liberal arts and basic sciences for the student interested in exercise physiology, fitness and health/wellness. The sequenced curriculum seeks to develop a graduate with the skills and academic background to pursue a career in the rapidly growing health and fitness industry. In addition, students are well prepared to pursue graduate work or professional education in a variety of areas including physical therapy, sports medicine, occupational therapy, medical school, etc. Incoming freshman admitted to the Direct Admit Physical Therapy program and those applicants accepted to the physical therapy program in their junior year will follow a course sequence that allows them to begin the doctorate in physical therapy (D.P.T.) in their senior year. Degree Offered Marquette University confers the degree bachelor of science with a major in exercise physiology on those students who have satisfactorily completed the required curricula. Accreditation/Recognition For successfully meeting established criteria, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) officially recognizes Marquette University's Education Program in Strength and Conditioning through January The exercise physiology Program in the Department of Physical Therapy at Marquette University in Wisconsin is the fourth academic institution in the United States to be recognized as an accredited academic program of study for exercise physiology by the American Society of Exercise Physiologists (ASEP). A ten-year accreditation was awarded from ASEP through September Academic Performance The Program in Exercise Science established the following policies with regard to grades, the use of the Substitute Repeat Option and the useful lifetime of courses: Candidates for a degree must earn at least the minimum number of credits listed in their curriculum and a minimum GPA of All students must comply with the College of Health Sciences graduation requirements. All students must meet a minimum cumulative grade point average of after freshman year, and a after sophomore year and beyond. A student should understand that a grade point average of or better is required for admission consideration by most graduate programs. A student must earn a C or better in all major courses. Major courses completed with a CD or D count toward the total credit hour degree requirements, but do not fulfill major requirements and must be repeated prior to advancing in course sequence. Limit on the use of substitute repeat option Since the institution of the punitive F in May 1991, the university has implemented the use of the substitute repeat option whereby the new repeated course grade will be used in the computation of the GPA and the student will receive degree credit only once. The Program in Exercise Science endorses the use of the substitute repeat option as a means to improve a student's GPA but limits its use to a maximum of five instances. In addition to the above, the program expects its students to adhere to standards of conduct and professionalism. Professional behavior is vital to the success of every health care provider. Violations and/or major deficiencies may prevent students from receiving clinical assignments, may be grounds for dismissal from the major, or other penalties. Examinations Final examinations are held in all subjects. A student's grade of scholarship in each subject is determined by the combined results of his or her class work, course assignments, and examinations as defined in the course syllabus. A student who misses a final examination in an EXPH or other course risks the loss of credit and the possibility of not being able to enroll in subsequent EXPH courses. Any student that misses a final exam in any course must file a written excuse with the College of Health Sciences office within 48 hours of the examination. Should the excuse be deemed valid, permission may be given for a delayed examination. Certification in Basic Life Support Certification in basic life support that includes child, infant, and both one- and two-person adult CPR along with AED (automatic external defibrillation) training is required of all students. Certification may be obtained following successful completion of EXPH Continued certification must be maintained by and is the responsibility of the student. Students without current CPR with AED certification cannot participate in their clinical experience which may result in the failure of that experience and may delay graduation.

2 2 Exercise Physiology Health Insurance/Health Certification All students prior to clinical/practical experiences must present evidence of health insurance before clinical/internship assignment can be made. A chest X-ray, vaccinations, and TB screening may be required prior to clinical assignment as dictated by the specific site. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended. Exercise Physiology and Doctor of Physical Therapy A curriculum has been developed to accommodate prerequisites for entrance into the D.P.T. while meeting the required course work for EXPH. Students that are either direct admit students or intend on applying to the D.P.T. program must meet with a physical therapy adviser as soon as possible to discuss programmatic differences that are required to meet the standards. Students must be aware that several courses in the D.P.T. curriculum are required to complete the EXPH major, resulting in a delay in conferring the degree. Students can participate in the May Commencement ceremonies following completion of the DPT4 year, however, diplomas will not be granted until December, after successful completion of the DPT5 Fall semester. A minimum of 128 credit hours are required for the degree including the following requirements areas: Area UCCS Requirements Required Cognates 14 Major (includes three credits of advanced EXPH electives) 67 General Electives UCCS Curriculum Requirements for EXPH Credit Hours to achieve 128 total credits Refer to the University Core of Common Studies (UCCS) for courses that will meet requirements, if not specified below. The university allows for one dual application course towards fulfillment of two UCCS knowledge areas. Students who complete a dual application course will complete 34 UCCS credits (instead of the typical 37 credits) and will need to complete additional general elective credits to achieve the 128 credits required for the degree.
