This five and one-half year degree program will give you the additional skills necessary to succeed after earning a master of science in occupational therapy. The University of Mary trains students to be physical therapists who can serve the under-served health needs of the rural communities in the region. Students are prepared to be competent and caring professionals while remembering that physical therapy is a profession of service. Within the rapidly changing healthcare environment, there is a need for business and leadership skills to complement practice in medicine, optometry, and dentistry. You will discover that the Emerging Leaders Program will add depth to your skills in working with people, creating partnerships, and implementing change.
Students graduate in four years with a bachelor's degree in preparation for professional studies.
This program consists of two years of college study followed by a two year professional program. During the first two years, students in the Emerging Leaders Program will take four Schafer Center courses and, after the second two years, be encouraged to enroll in the accelerated master's in management-healthcare certification program.
