The hybrid curriculum—designed by the same world-renowned faculty members who teach the on-campus program at Arcadia—is delivered through a combination of online sessions, on-campus immersions, and clinical education experiences. Students will spend eight weeks in an inpatient or outpatient setting, under the mentorship of a licensed physical therapist, and take part in two 12-week, full-time clinical internships. These immersive experiences give students the skills to excel in a variety of settings, from outpatient clinics to top-tier hospitals and rehabilitation systems.

Organized into 20 case-driven, patient-based courses that integrate knowledge from every practice area of physical therapy, our curriculum specifically prepares graduates to pursue licensure and sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). Through accelerated, integrated, and high-quality instruction, our faculty delivers courses that build in complexity and depth as students progress through the program. Each course is designed so that students can immediately apply classroom learnings to help real patients during their clinical experiences.
