Department of Physical Therapy
What better way to make a difference than physical therapy? The profession is effective and changes lives. And the need is increasing: The U.S. Dept. of Labor predicts that the U.S. will need 39% more physical therapists by 2020.
We educate students to practice autonomously within an evolving, complex, and diverse healthcare environment. You’ll become a healthcare professional distinguished by leadership, innovation, and excellence in a dynamic and diverse global society.
