The Bachelor of Science in Orthotics and Prosthetics is a multidisciplinary program focused on the assessment, design, fabrication, fitting, and maintenance of orthoses (braces) and prostheses (artificial limbs). Students learn the biomechanical principles of human movement, pathological conditions leading to limb loss or impairment, and the engineering techniques required to create assistive devices. The program integrates aspects of engineering, medicine, and rehabilitation science to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve optimal function and independence. Graduates are equipped to work directly with patients, collaborating with physicians, therapists, and other healthcare professionals to improve their quality of life.
