Program Description
The University of Mary is a private, Catholic, Benedictine university based in Bismarck, ND that offers exceptional education at an affordable cost. The Doctor of Physical Therapy degree is designed to prepare competent, ethical, compassionate, and caring physical therapists who serve the diverse healthcare needs of society in accordance with the Benedictine values. All students are required to complete a bachelor’s degree prior to admission into the 32-month professional phase of the program. The professional curriculum consists of interactive learning experiences that prepare the student to excel in an interdisciplinary health care environment. Service learning is an integral component of the educational program which includes an optional international service-learning experience. In collaboration with a faculty member, students complete a group research project, culminating with a presentation and paper in manuscript form.

Full and part-time clinical education experiences are completed at a large variety of diverse settings throughout the US and are spaced throughout the educational program. Students also manage a pro bono clinic on campus and provide physical therapy services under faculty guidance in order to practice their skills and serve the needs of the people in the region. The experienced faculty, representing several specialty areas of practice, are assisted by adjunct faculty, including physical therapists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. The program is located in town in a 15,000 sq ft newly designed facility in town which allows ample space for research, clinical practice, and teaching and learning.
