The mission of Springfield College is to educate students in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to humanity by building upon its foundation of Humanics and academic excellence.

The pre-Physical Therapy Bachelor of Science program prepares students for doctoral-level studies in physical therapy by providing them with a strong science background, a broad general education, and the skills needed for communication, critical thinking, and leadership in service to humanity.
The Mission of the Department of Physical Therapy at Springfield College is to develop and promote excellence in education, service, and scholarship in physical therapy. Our success is guided by the Humanics philosophy of Springfield College that promotes leadership and service to humanity. We are academics and clinicians who foster the acquisition of knowledge, values, and skills for exemplary professional practice. We develop innovative leadership and academic programs so that students, faculty, staff, and consumers of physical therapy services may reach their fullest potential. Our service and scholarship reflect a commitment to the enrichment and promotion of the physical therapy profession and to our greater community.
The DPT program prepares highly qualified therapists for exemplary professional practice in physical therapy. Alumni of the program are therapists who are able to recognize and meet existing and emerging health care needs. The program seeks to impart values and skills for lifelong learning, ethical behavior in practice, and a commitment to the enrichment and promotion of the physical therapy profession.
