Physical therapists work with clients of all ages with all degrees of illness and disability.
The goal of the program is the development of caring, competent clinicians ready to meet the varied physical therapy needs of the community. The physical therapy program is designed to admit students as freshmen. Students are classified as freshmen their first year in the program regardless of transfer credits accepted by the University. Before students can be admitted to the program, they must meet certain entrance requirements. Maryville University currently has a nationally acredited undergraduate program in Physical Therapy.
