This is especially important for the professional student. The Rockhurst University Physical Therapy Program accepts 40 students each year to enter its program.
Students are the heart of the program.
The student body of each class is compromised of traditional and non-traditional students from highly diverse educational and career backgrounds. Throughout the program, students find themselves interacting with each other as well as the faculty at many different levels. Strong friendships are often formed as students spend the majority of their days together. Students find that they often develop study groups or partners they then spend the evening with to review or study for the next day's exam, quiz or lecture. Students are required to participate in many group-learning projects, strengthening their communication skills, their ability to work as teams, and their personal relationships.
