1. BS in Physical Rehabilitation Sciences (Prosthetics & Orthotics) – Four Year Degree Program.
2. BSc. (Associate Degree) in Physical Rehabilitation Sciences(Prosthetics & Orthotics)– Two Year Degree Program.

Prosthetics and Orthotics is a specialized, allied health care field that helps patients to regain mobility after loss of a limb, or function. PROSTHETICS is the design, manufacturing and fitting of artificial devices to replace lost limbs, hands or feet; and, ORTHOTICS is the design and fitting of orthopedic braces or supports to correct musculoskeletal problems.

Prosthetic and Orthotic specialists examine patients, take measurements, create designs, build models and devices, fit devices, monitor patients and make adjustments as needed. They work closely with physicians and other health care professionals to decide the type of appliance and prescription needed. Prosthetists and Orthotists are not only practitioners; rather they are the artists too. It is perhaps the most rewarding of all the allied health professions, because it is making a difference…every day! PROSTHETISTS provide patients with prostheses (artificial limbs) to replace an amputated hand, arm, foot or leg. The goal of the prosthetist is to provide the patient with increased function, such walking or grasping. ORTHOTISTS provide patients with orthoses (braces) to increase the stability of the spine or an extremity after injury or disease. The goal of the orthotist is to provide the patient with protection, support and, ultimately, increased function.
