Graduate Programs
Through our clinical graduate programs, we train you to see each patient as an individual while improving care delivery. That that means you'll go beyond technical excellence and get extensive training in the field — even working outside the U.S.
MS in Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists are experts in daily living who improve a person’s physical, cognitive, psychological and social participation in all aspects of life through the therapeutic use of everyday activities, adaptations, and assistive devices. Careers can take place in a variety of settings, including in schools, hospitals, clinics, and home care. At Clarkson, you'll grow your skills in state-of-the-art simulation labs, fieldwork assignments and collaboration with STEM and business colleagues.
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)
Physical therapists are movement experts who diagnose individuals with mobility and pain related disorders, develop care plans and prescribe exercise supported by hands-on care to optimize physical function, prevent disease and improve quality of life following disability. Led by faculty with decades of real-world experience, the DPT program centers around four full-time clinical experiences and leads to meaningful careers in hospitals, private practice, athletics, industry, and home care.
MS in Physician Assistant Studies
Physician assistants are medical experts who diagnose illness, develop and manage medical treatment plans, prescribe medications and often serve as a patient’s primary healthcare provider. In some rural areas where physicians are in short supply, physician assistants may be primary healthcare providers, especially in hospitals, urgent care, clinics, and private practices. Clarkson's Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies can prepare you for a career in this quick-growing field: demand for PAs is expected to increase 28 percent by 2031.
MS / PhD in Interdisciplinary Bioscience and Biotechnology
Our master's and PhD programs in bioscience and biotechnology are at the forefront of research and technology leading to breakthroughs related to the world's most urgent problems. Gain a competitive edge in the job market and strengthen your application to PhD, veterinary or medical programs with these unique degrees.
Affiliated Graduate Programs
As the science behind healthcare grows ever more complex, so, too, do the leadership and management skills it takes to navigate this changing field. Prepare for tomorrow's challenges in these graduate programs, including several through the David D. Reh School of Business.
