St. Augustine DPT Blended Curriculum (Residential)

[mnvikings5]

Can any past or current students of USA shed some light on the USA curriculum.
I recently found out the Residential program has a large online component to it.

I am curious how this works because I have had courses where lectures are online outside of the class and then we come back to lab and homework.

Thanks!

There are 7 classes. You have 6 on campus and 1 strictly online (sometimes meet on campus).
3 of those 6 classes is lab and 3 of them are just lecture.

those 6 classes also have an online portion of it being lecture too.

sounds confusing.

You have a day designated for online so you don't have classes that day.
There will be classes where you have absolutely "no time" for because the one class will hold you back is gross anatomy or pathophysiology.

The first trimester is about adjusting to grad school. Everything is overwhelming but PT school is not a joke. It's grad school.
You gotta decide which class is more important to focus on
I was hesitant because of the online courses but it is not all online only.

This came from someone who started this January.

Do you have a different view? Someone in the department told me all classes have an online component which is not exactly what I am looking for especially for an accelerated program.

I believe that what the person from the department meant is that they use blackboard for all courses. During my interview day they elaborated on the online component and what marzzyt said seems to be in line with what I was told.

I see. Thanks for your response. I decided to decline the interview. I decided it was not the best learning opportunity for me. I have other interviews and have been waitlisted to 3 schools as well. Thanks again!
