Welcome to Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University’s Department of Physical Therapy! Our Department offers two opportunities: an Associate’s degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant, and the Doctor of Physical Therapy.

The Physical Therapist Assistant Program (PTA) is designed to prepare individuals to effectively assist in treatment and assessment of physical therapy patients under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. Both pre-requisite and clinical courses are included in the curriculum.

Applications to the PTA Program at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University are due on or before January 1 for the June class. A maximum of 26 students every year are accepted into the program.
