LSU starts doctorate program to keep up with the competition
Rehab Regs, April 7, 2006
Louisiana State University (LSU) unveiled its new physical therapy doctorate program last week, stating the need to allow its students to keep up in the competitive market, reported The Daily Reveille in Baton Rouge, LA.
The schools New Orleans' campus will accept 40 students into the program, while the Shreveport, LA, campus will admit 30 students.
The House Education Committee supported the new program in hopes that graduating students will be able to find high-paying jobs right after graduation.
The school also said it hopes the program will help train physical therapy professors for the future since it is often difficult to find people with enough training to teach the Master's classes, the Reveille reported.
