About the course

Prosthetics and Orthotics is an exciting combination of material science, engineering and health care that makes the prosthetist/orthotist a uniquely qualified member of the health care team. The combined BS/MSPO is a 5-year program. Students may enter the program as freshmen, complete the undergraduate BS in Health Sciences, and elevate into the professional MSPO program. Transfer students are not currently accepted into the program. Our combined BS/MSPO program prepares graduates to meet the intellectual, social, cultural, and economic challenges of our changing health care system. The curriculum combines a liberal arts education with a strong science core to provide the foundation for success in professional practice. Prosthetists design, fabricate, and fit devices known as prostheses (artificial limbs) for individuals who have partial or total absence of a limb. Orthotists design and fit devices known as orthoses (orthopedic braces) to enhance function and provide care for patients who have disabling conditions of the limbs and spine.
