Together with our experienced faculty, you and your cohort will create a vibrant learning community. You'll study alongside the same students throughout your program, allowing you to build strong relationships with like-minded professionals from across the country. You'll also have the chance to build personal connections with faculty through 1:1 mentoring.

To become familiar with current topics in the physical therapy profession, you'll spend the first three days of each quarter interacting with peers and faculty through live, online sessions. Then you'll take a deep dive into the material in our online, competency-based education courses. Instead of being graded simply on remembering information, you'll put your knowledge into practice through real-world activities.

Five times throughout the program, you'll travel to Eagan, Minnesota, for 6-11-day in-person learning experiences to refine your skills and practice hands-on care. Immersive labs and technology will help ensure you get the most realistic experience possible. You'll also complete 30 weeks of full-time clinical education - putting your skills to practice in the real world. 

This unique blend of learning formats will allow you to connect with a national network of clinicians - without having to relocate. From application to graduation and beyond, we're here to set you up for success. Step by step, we'll help you become a future-focused physical therapist in the evolving healthcare system.
