The EHS 学位 at Montana Tech, with the small class sizes, well equipped facilities, experienced professors and rigorous curriculum gave me the preparation I needed to succeed in physical therapy school !

The overall quality of education at Montana Tech, 在我看来, is hands above that of larger public institutions. EHS课程, along with the elective courses, are thorough and lay what I would consider a firm foundation for further and 更多的 focused studies in graduate programs. I loved my time at Tech. It is a passion of mine to study exercise and its effects, and now I focus on exercise for individuals with chronic disability, which is a whole different level of thinking in many ways!
