Minors:
Students are required to complete a minor by the end of the spring semester of their senior year (completion by end of spring semester junior year is preferred).

The second major must be completed prior to matriculating as a graduate student in DPT II of the program. Students are encouraged to discuss minor options with their major/PT academic advisor.

We encourage students to take advantage of the study abroad/away program. Students interested should contact their major/PT academic adviser and the Office of International Programs (607) 274-3306 for further information. Students who want to study abroad the fall of junior year will need to take EXSS 12000 & EXSS 12100 A&P I&II during their sophomore year. If study abroad occurs in the spring of the junior year, the student needs to be back the day prior to the start of Human Anatomy. Study abroad needs to be done prior to the senior year.
