"Rather than just teach facts, we teach students how to think -- professors concentrate on the theoretical ideals of therapy and rehabilitation, but we also recognize the importance of the clinical reality. Students are taught to strike an intelligent balance between the two."

Jean Prast,
OTD, OTR

"We take pride in our students and are committed to their success as practicing clinicians, future leaders, and contributors to research."
