The college's flagship program is a 6-year direct-admit Doctor of Physical Therapy (BS/DPT), CAPTE-accredited since 2006 and reaccredited for 10 years in 2022. Other distinctive offerings include Actuarial Science (one of the most popular majors), a strong Music Performance conservatory-style program, and Business Administration. Students are required to live on campus through senior year. Fall 2025 saw the largest incoming class in the college's 160-year history — a strong institutional health indicator.
