Degree Programs
Physical Therapy
In our direct-entry physical therapy program, students can enter as freshmen and earn a combined BS in Exercise Science/Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in six or seven years. We also offer a post-baccalaureate three-year, full-time program leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
Licensed physical therapists can advance their skills in our Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency Program in partnership with Hartford Healthcare Rehabilitation Network. We also offer a 12-credit Certificate in Advanced Orthopedic Physical Therapy that allows licensed therapists to continue their regular employment while enrolled in the program.
Prosthetics and Orthotics
Our Prosthetics and Orthotics program is one of only a dozen graduate programs and a handful of undergraduate programs in the U.S. Prosthetics and orthotics is an exciting combination of material science, engineering and health care.
Our combined BS in Health Sciences/MS in Prosthetics and Orthotics is a 5-year program. Students can enter the program as freshmen, complete an undergraduate BS in Health Sciences, and elevate into the professional Master of Science in Prosthetics & Orthotics (MSPO) program.
At the graduate level, students may enter as post-baccalaureate students in the MSPO program.
Occupational Therapy
Our new Occupational Therapy program offers a combined BS in Health Sciences/MS in Occupational Therapy (BS/MSOT). This five-year program allows students to start their careers sooner. We also offer a post-baccalaureate MS in Occupational Therapy that prepares students for licensing as certified occupational therapists.
