Changes in accreditation standards for Physical Therapy education programs have necessitated this program change. Further information on admission standards and program requirements will be available by Summer 1999. Applicants should be aware of their responsibility in acquiring adequate technology skills to ensure success in the program. The curricular design requires students to be independent and self-directed and utilize faculty as guides and facilitators of learning. The program includes extended clinical internships in which the student may be required to relocate or commute out of the area, at the students' own expense.
Students can enroll part-time during other portions of the curriculum.
The Physical Therapy Program at Florida Gulf Coast University is technology based and requires that all students in the program own, rent or have unlimited off-campus access to a computer. The Department of Physical Therapy can provide guidance for configuration and software recommendations. This is an official FGCU web page.
