The academic calendar for Graduate Health Science programs includes the Doctor of Physical Therapy (PT) program, the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (OT) program, and the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (PA) program. Each program may offer a slightly different orientation and break schedule; when differences occur, the impacted program is noted in the Events column; otherwise, Events apply to all programs. Further, some cohorts within each program may follow slightly different start/end dates, or break days, to accommodate clinical rotation or fieldwork schedules. Students should refer to their program handbook for specific information.
