Prosthetics and Orthodontics

The combined BS/MSPO is a 5-year program, which enables you to start your career sooner. Students complete the requirements for the bachelor's degree and begin the professional MSPO program in the fourth year, completing the master's degree by the end of the fifth year. Transfer students are not currently accepted into the program.

Our combined BS/MSPO program prepares graduates to meet the intellectual, social, cultural, and economic challenges of our changing health care system. The curriculum combines a liberal arts education with a strong science core to provide the foundation for success in professional practice.

Prosthetists design, fabricate, and fit devices known as prostheses (artificial limbs) for individuals who have partial or total absence of a limb.

Orthotists design and fit devices known as orthoses (orthopedic braces) to enhance function and provide care for patients who have disabling conditions of the limbs and spine.
