Doctor of Physical Therapy



When the Fall 2020 Semester begins, the Department of Physical Therapy will offer most courses remotely, and provide in-person instruction for courses that cannot be delivered remotely, as is the case for laboratory components of coursework and clinical education experiences. Whether in-person or remote, the Department of Physical Therapy is committed to fostering community, ensuring safety and accessibility, and facilitating entry-level competence of students in the program. The Department of Physical Therapy has prioritized the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff and will continue to implement recommended best practices for limiting exposure to COVID-19 in a campus setting. Should you need to communicate with our program, please access our Contact Us page.
