| We offer both Master's and Ph.D. Programs in Rehabilitation Science. These post-professional graduate programs are designed for experienced, licensed clinicians with an Undergraduate Degree in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy or related fields who are seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in clinical research related to health and rehabilitation. With our interdisciplinary focus in the Graduate Programs, we are at the forefront of providing the skills and experience to training a new generation of health professionals to work in a broad range of academic, research and clinical settings.
This is approximately a two-year program designed for experienced clinicians who wish to expand their skills to learning about interdisciplinary research related to health and rehabilitation. The M.Sc. includes 16 credits of course work and a 29-credit thesis component. This program also provides the foundation for a Ph.D. Program and offers the possibility of fast tracking directly to our Ph.D. Program for those who meet the criteria.
