Course Sequence

This two-year curriculum consists of five consecutive semesters beginning in August. During the last three semesters, there are full-time clinical internships, along with didactic classroom experiences. Each of these three clinical experiences is a full-time (40-hour per week) experience in a Physical Therapy Department, with supervision provided by an on-site clinical instructor who is either a Physical Therapist or a Physical Therapist Assistant.
