CMU's therapeutic recreation program is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills and practical experience necessary to become a nationally certified therapeutic recreation specialist.​ In our major, students will learn how to provide functional treatment interventions and recreational activities for clients with intellectual disabilities, psychiatric conditions, physical disabilities, chemical dependency issues, and seniors with disabilities. Typical work settings for recreational therapists include physical rehabilitation units, mental health facilities, long term care, medical camps, and community inclusion programs. CMU’s therapeutic recreation concentration, the first nationally accredited program in Michigan, prepares you for certification through the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification. You’ll train under the guidance of nationally certified faculty and gain the skills that lead to work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, psychiatric agencies or long-term care facilities. A culminating clinical internship will complete your training in the delivery of functional and recreational programs for geriatric clients or individuals with emotionalbehavioral impairments, physical disabilities or intellectual disabilities.​
