The Department of Physical Therapy offers a Master of Science program in Rehabilitation Sciences. The program will provide students with state-of-art knowledge in research design, measurement techniques, advances in rehabilitation sciences, and critical appraisal of the evidence needed to support contemporary clinical practice. Moreover, graduates of the Rehabilitation Sciences Program will be prepared to become faculty members in academia, or to assume leadership positions in the rehabilitation community, and/or contribute to the development of a scholarly basis in physical rehabilitation sciences. Areas of research concentration include all aspects of physical rehabilitation, in particular neurological, cardiopulmonary, and orthopedic rehabilitation. Both treatment effectiveness and basic underlying mechanisms will be addressed using quantitative and/or clinical measures.

Two PhD programs are available to students who wish to complete advanced preparation for research. These programs are in the areas of Disability Studies and Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Rehabilitation. Please refer to the Disability Studies section of the graduate catalogue for a description of the PhD in Disability Studies and the Kinesiology, Nutrition, and Rehabilitation section for that program.
