A basketball player with a torn ACL. A grandparent with arthritis. A child with a birth defect. A bricklayer with a back injury. The road to recovery for these people goes through physical therapists, who work with them to restore function, improve mobility, stretch the bounds of physical limitation and relieve their pain. Using electrical stimulation, ultrasounds, therapeutic exercise, gait training, and adaptive devices like prosthetic and crutches, physical therapists work with other health care providers to devise the best remedy to improve each individual's function.
Specialize.
Unlike many PT programs, Marquette's physical therapy major gives you the latitude to develop your interest in a variety of areas — such as sports, orthopedics, neurological, cardiopulmonary, wellness and pediatrics — by offering advanced-practice electives, specialty clinicals, projects and mentoring by top experts in those fields.
Get out of the classroom.
As a physical therapy major, you'll enjoy 30 weeks of clinical experience in Milwaukee and throughout the country during the final two years of your professional phase.
