About Us

 

Physical therapy is a dynamic health care profession.

Physical therapists plan, organize, and direct programs for individuals of all ages which promote health, prevent physical disability, and alleviate pain or disability resulting from disease or injury.

Physical therapists work in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, private offices, home health agencies, athletic programs, rehabilitation centers, community health centers, research centers, industry, colleges, and universities.

Applicants should have a sufficient knowledge of the profession of physical therapy to make an informed career choice.

Applicants are encouraged to visit with physical therapists in a variety of practice environments. Information sessions are conducted regularly by the faculty about the admission process.

Beginning Fall 2007 we are pleased to announce that we are an entry level Doctor of Physical Therapy Program.
