Undergraduate Rehabilitation Science Certificates


The undergraduate program in Rehabilitation Science offers undergraduate certificates for students planning to continue their education in rehabilitation science programs or seeking a concentration of courses in a particular rehabilitation science area. These certificates are designed to best prepare students for rehabilitation-related graduate programs; however, the certificates are not a requirement for application.

Completion of the Pathokinesiology in Rehabilitation Certificate provides the student with an excellent background in the sciences related to normal and pathological motion. It complements coursework offered in graduate programs such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant studies, exercise science, kinesiology, and sports medicine. With minimal additional coursework (nutrition and fitness instruction), it also prepares students to take examinations for certification as a personal trainer or fitness expert, such as the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS®) offered by the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

Total Certificate Credits: 25
