On behalf of the administration, faculty members, and staff, I would like to welcome you all to the Department of Physical Therapy at Philadelphia University. The goal of our program is to provide our students with contemporary education to prepare them for a constantly growing dynamic profession in physical therapy. In the Department of Physical Therapy, we strive to graduate competent physical therapists equipped with knowledge, skills, values, and lifelong learning skills. The program curriculum provides our students with basic, medical, clinical, and behavioral sciences to enable them to acquire the essential knowledge and skills for practicing physical therapy upon graduation. Ethical practice is emphasized throughout the program. Our graduates are prepared to thrive in the modern and evolving healthcare environment.

The program curriculum is delivered by highly motivated, creative, talented, and experienced faculty members. Our faculty are distinguished professors, health practitioners, and researchers. We are keen to share our knowledge and expertise with our students.

During your journey through the program, you will participate in a variety of curricular and extracurricular learning experiences. We have an integrated educational curriculum that combines online learning, active in-class learning focused on critical thinking, problem-solving, and evidence-based practice, laboratories that provide hands-on learning opportunities, and clinical site learning where students learn through practical experiences with patients/clients.

In the Department of Physical Therapy, we maintain an open-door policy. If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties during your studies with us, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the department faculty members.

I wish you a happy and fruitful university life.
