Welcome to Miami
Last fall, the university expanded its Doctor of Physical Therapy program to South Florida with a new campus in Miami. The 17,000-square-foot campus near the airport welcomed 32 students on its first day and another 41 in January.
The first floor includes collaborative student study rooms with built-in presentation technology, clinical labs, an anatomy lab, lecture classroom space, library, conference room, and student lounge. All classrooms are equipped with touch panel control systems, projectors, mobile classroom cameras, document cameras, and video conferencing and wireless presentation capabilities.
