Equipped to Succeed
As a bonus, you’ll benefit from the presence of our Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, one of only a handful of Christian physical therapy degree programs in the nation. This gives you access to a larger group of faculty members, more research resources, and a broader network to leverage.
Our Faith
Beyond preparing you academically, our professors will take a vested interest in you as a person – willing to listen as you discuss your hopes and dreams for your career, as well as your growth both personally and spiritually. They also teach science from a Christ-centered perspective, recognizing God as Creator, so you won’t be attending a school where science and Christianity are at odds.
Interprofessional Education
The Interprofessional education program happens twice a year—once each semester—giving you the chance to gain valuable, hands-on experience. By participating, you’ll see how different professional training and ethics influence client care, preparing you to collaborate with a variety of professionals in the health system. You’ll build confidence in sharing your perspectives and assessments while learning from other disciplines, setting you up for success in real-world professional environments.
Our Community
You’ll benefit from our 16-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, which ensures you’ll receive the personalized attention you need to thrive. And with the career and academic coaching you will receive through our Career and Academic Planning Center, you have advocates who will help plot your course and find the physical therapy program that’s right for you!
You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with your peers by joining our athletic training or exercise science/kinesiology student-run clubs.
