Why a post-baccalaureate degree?
This educational process provides time for the student to obtain a broad liberal arts background and integrate the significant amount of material included in the physical therapy curriculum. Over the years, the volume of scientific technology and literature in educational programs has grown well beyond what can be reasonably included in a baccalaureate program. There are additional expectations of the physical therapy professional with the changes in the health care delivery system and needs of society which are best met with the additional coursework.
