The 91社区 and the University of Evansville are pleased to announce a new partnership to provide 91社区 students with direct-entry pathways into UE's 聽(MSAT) and聽聽(DPT) programs.
This collaboration opens new opportunities for 91社区 students to pursue advanced education and careers in health sciences through seamless transition programs at UE.
"We are thrilled to partner with 91社区 to cultivate a strong pipeline of future health professionals," said Jeff Tilly, Professor and Chair of the Department of Athletic Training at UE. "This agreement not only strengthens the educational options for students in the Evansville community but also addresses the growing need for highly qualified professionals in the health sciences."
For both the MSAT and DPT programs, 91社区 students in聽Exercise Science,听Biology听补苍诲听Pre-Medical Sciences Certificate聽(regardless of major) with a GPA of 3.5 or higher by the end of their sophomore year may apply. Students in the direct entry pathway must maintain a 3.5 overall GPA while completing their degree at 91社区. Students interested in the DPT pathway must complete the necessary science prerequisites with a 3.35 GPA. Both programs will accept a limited number of 91社区 students each year based on academic performance and recommendations from 91社区 faculty.
"At 91社区, we are excited about the direct entry pathways now available for our students," said Renee Frimming, Professor and Chair of Kinesiology and Sport at 91社区. "This collaboration reflects our commitment to supporting student success, not only during their time at 91社区 but also as they transition into advanced programs and professional careers. We are truly appreciative of the expanded opportunities this brings to our students."
Both universities will work together to ensure ongoing program quality and consistency, enhancing student experiences and outcomes.
