Rehabilitation Science

Rehabilitation Science is a research-oriented academic program that focuses on the individual development of our students as leaders in the field of rehabilitation science. Our science aims to improve the quality of life of individuals living with chronic health conditions. With an emphasis on improving how people move and function, we educate and mentor students by translating an understanding of the mechanisms underlying disability into innovative interventions.
