Program Description
The BS/MSOP is a mixed, undergraduate and graduate track, accepting students both with and without a bachelor’s degree. This is one of the most robust orthotics and prosthetics curricula in the country with 156 academic units. Undergraduate students will simultaneously earn a B.S. in health sciences, and an MSOP in orthotics and prosthetics. Bachelor-prepared students will graduate with an MSOP degree.
Supervised clinical experience is obtained in a variety of settings during the program through clinical rotations and weekly grand rounds. These ongoing, weekly clinical rotations are an essential part of a student's academic and professional requirements, and prepare them for the final quarter clinical affiliations required for the completion of the MSOP degree curriculum.
