Podiatry Program Articulation
Degree Type
Articulated Program
The Podiatry Program is an articulated program between Felician University and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine in Manhattan (http://www.nycpm.edu/).
A Podiatrist is able to prevent, diagnose, and treat disorders of the foot and ankle. The foot is often the first area to manifest symptoms of serious conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and the podiatrist is often the first to detect symptoms of these disorders and thus becomes a vital member of the healthcare team.
Students in the entry level components of the program spend about three years at Felician University completing 96 credits in the pre- professional component (47 credits in the General Education Curricular Commons, and 49 credits in the required pre-professional Core). Students must complete their coursework at Felician University with a 3.000 GPA and earn a minimum of “C” in all specified science courses. Students can make an application to the New York College of Podiatric Medicine one year prior to their desired term of entry into the Podiatry program. Upon successful completion of their first year of courses at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, Felician University will award the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. Upon completion of the remainder of the required coursework (approximately three additional years), the New York College of Podiatric Medicine will award the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM).
Program length: 45 months (based on full-time enrollment)
