The DPT program has been approved by the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning as a hybrid program to meet the needs of learners while delivering a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum. The Department Head & Program Director will recruit the inaugural faculty, shape a modern hybrid operating model, and launch an academically rigorous, student-centered program that strengthens Mississippi's rehabilitation workforce.
