What to Expect<\/strong>\u00a0as a Full-Time DPT Student at Marymount University<\/h3>\n

Students should expect to be in class from 8:00 AM \u2013 6:00 PM each weekday. An average day is composed of tutorial, classroom instruction and laboratory activities. There are also days spent in clinic rotations (either part-time or full-time.\u00a0 Reference the DPT Curriculum<\/a> for the clinical rotation schedule). There are breaks throughout the day;\u00a0 however students often spend that time studying or practicing clinical skills.<\/p>\n
