Description:

We offer both Master's and Ph.D. Programs in Rehabilitation Science. These post-professional graduate programs are designed for experienced, licensed clinicians with an Undergraduate Degree in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy or related fields who are seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in clinical research related to health and rehabilitation. With our interdisciplinary focus in the Graduate Programs, we are at the forefront of providing the skills and experience to training a new generation of health professionals to work in a broad range of academic, research and clinical settings.

The Ph.D. Program trains health professionals who want to pursue a research career in a broad range of academic, research and clinical settings. The Ph.D. Program includes intensive experience in clinical research related to health and rehabilitation from learning to ask the right questions through research design, analysis, interpretation and presentation of results. Also included is course work in education and for those with a clinical background, the opportunity to teach professional courses in the Undergraduate Physical and Occupational Therapy Curriculum. The program requires 3 to 5 years of full-time study and includes course work, a comprehensive exam, research proposal, thesis and an oral defense.
