Across
the state of Illinois, around the Midwest, and indeed across the
United States, youll find our
graduates working in a wide range of health care settings.
Thats because our
innovative undergraduate
health science major is great preparation for careers such as
hospital or health care administration, public relations, advertising,
patient management, medicine, health care advocacy, technical support,
research, and more. It also offers the option of direct admission
into our graduate program in physical therapy.
The graduate
physical therapy program teaches biomechanics, neurosciences,
musculoskeletal, physiology, motor learning, research, and administrative
theory. With this foundation students learn examination, evaluation,
diagnostic, and intervention skills, and they practice their skills
in five clinical rotations.

physical therapy.
