Sargent College of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences

Sargent College consists of four departments: Health Sciences; Occupational Therapy; Physical Therapy; and Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences. Each undergraduate and graduate program aims to prepare students for careers in their field of interest.

The college’s professional programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), and the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).

Sargent College offers a variety of degrees that reflect the breadth of our students’ educational opportunities, from bachelor’s and master’s degrees to doctoral programs. Fieldwork is an important component in all programs at Sargent College. To provide students with clinical experience, the college partners with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, community health agencies, and research laboratories in the Boston area and throughout the United States.
