Discover what’s next for you at Carlow

Carlow University's College of Health and Wellness prepare future educators to meet the next great need in our community, develop innovative programming, and transform lives.

Doctorate
in Physical Therapy

Carlow University’s new Doctorate in Physical Therapy program (DPT) allows students to sharpen technical and non-technical skills for healthcare practice, learn in a healthcare team-based model, and gain clinical experiences in Pittsburgh, around the U.S. and internationally. Lock in tuition for all 8 semesters and earn your degree in as few as 8 semesters as well. At Carlow, we believe that the non-technical skills are equally essential to your health professional training as the technical skills. Your training will emphasize three important habits of healthcare practice: Heart (professional formation/responsibilities), Head (cognitive knowledge), and Hand (clinical skills).

Master's in Speech
Language Pathology

The new specialization track within the Master’s in SLP program at Carlow University offers advanced training in voice, head and neck cancer, breathing disorders, and swallowing assessment (FEES). This pathway is designed for students pursuing medical SLP careers and seeking a competitive edge for externships and clinical fellowships. Students will train to prevent, assess, and treat communication and swallowing disorders within a learning environment comprised of faculty, clinical educators, and students from several different professions in just 5 semesters.

Masters in
Physician's Assistant

Carlow University offers a new and innovative cohort-based physician assistant program. Accelerate your learning with this 25-month program designed to build upon your prior healthcare experience and the clinical skills you already have. After 6 semesters, students are prepared to take the Physician Assistant National Certification Examination (PANCE) and pursue a versatile and in-demand career as a physician assistant. Carlow also offers a Pre-Physician Assistant program undergraduate degree.
