I chose SU because of the commitment of the faculty and the university to the education of physical therapy practitioners and the outstanding reputation of SU graduates. What I have found is that the Division of Physical Therapy has a personal and friendly atmosphere. I believe that we strive for balance between the academic, clinical, and personal aspects of physical therapy education that makes the SU experience unique and enjoyable.
