Dual Degree - Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Physical Therapy - Physical Therapy

Physical therapists today must be more than clinicians with excellent hands-on skills. They must be effective communicators, reflective and analytical professionals, and compassionate and engaged caregivers. Nazareth University's physical therapy degree program stresses all of these, giving students the knowledge and skills to treat the whole client. 

The D.P.T. program integrates classroom studies with hands-on clinical experiences beginning in the first full semester, allowing students to practice skills under the supervision of faculty and community-based physical therapists. These clinical experiences both provide authentic learning environments and supply much-needed services to the community.

All students complete a full, two-year research project with a faculty member. More than 70% of these projects are accepted for presentation at state and national professional conferences.
