East Tennessee State University is preparing to launch two in-demand programs that will expand its footprint in the rehabilitative sciences â a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and a Master of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics.
ETSU will begin accepting applications for both programs this July, and will welcome the first cohorts of students in May 2022.
The programs will be housed on the VA campus in Building 2, which is set to undergo renovations that will transform it into ETSUâs rehabilitative sciences hub. Currently, Building 2 houses ETSUâs Physical Therapy Program on the second floor. A $4 million renovation will begin this August on an additional 14,000 square feet of space on the first floor that will house Occupational Therapy and Orthotics and Prosthetics.
