Rehabilitation Science, BS


Banner Code: HH-BS-RHBS

College: College of Health and Human Services  
Department: Rehabilitation Science 
 

Rehabilitation Science is the field of study which integrates the knowledge related to restoring the functional capacity of a person to perform the activities of everyday life and the interaction of that person with the surrounding environment that either disables or enables the individual to participate fully in society. This knowledge is then translated into interventions aimed at improving human performance and quality of life.

Our Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science, the first program of its kind in the Commonwealth of Virginia, offers students a rigorous science-based educational foundation for rehabilitation-related careers upon graduation as well as a clear and distinctive pathway for admission to graduate programs that prepare rehabilitation clinicians and academic scientists.
