Program Format

The PhD program in rehabilitation and movement science blends online learning with two 1-week on-campus sessions per year. This format helps support working healthcare professionals who want to further their careers and pursue work in education and research.

Online Format

For online courses within the program, students will be required to use Canvas for the asynchronous online courses, and both Canvas and Zoom for the synchronous statistics courses. The statistics courses will have an online portion and a weekly real-time Zoom meeting with an on-campus attendance option. Additional instructions will be provided with each course.

On-Campus Sessions

Each year, during the first week of the fall and spring semesters, students participate in a one-week, on-campus boot camp with faculty and peers. Discussion and activities focus on research topic advancement, reviewing previous work, and preparing for the term to come. Additional on-campus meetings can be arranged by students with the respective course instructors and mentors as needed.
