This grants them the education, skills, and confidence needed to build a bright and successful career in their chosen field.

Cutting-edge Tech on Campus

At D’Youville University, campus development and growth are undertaken with a future-forward mindset. The recent completion of the University’s Health Professions Hub is a strong example of this ethos.

The Hub is a first-of-its-kind health center featuring innovative learning spaces, a workforce center, extensive virtual training resources, and clinics offering primary care, rehabilitation medicine, nutrition, nursing, pharmacy, and more. It provides ample hands-on learning opportunities for students and care for members of the surrounding community.

D’Youville University recently announced its soon-to-break-ground Dharma project. A $50 million academic building, the Dharma project will broaden the University’s healthcare programs by providing unique, world-class educational opportunities to students seeking futures as primary care and community-based practitioners.

Planning Ahead: Combined/Dual Degrees

Students entering school for the first time can push beyond pursuing a bachelor’s degree by choosing a Combined or Dual/Sequential degree, which includes a bachelor’s degree and a master’s or doctorate.

Students in D’Youville’s Combined degree programs graduate in less time with complex skill sets ready for the job market. Combined programs include Biology and Anatomy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, and Physician Assistant.

Students enrolled in Dual (or Sequential) degree programs permit students to graduate with a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate. This moves students through a natural progression of in-depth, focused study and maximizes their college investment. Currently, D’Youville’s Dual degree programs include a bachelor’s degree paired with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, Doctor of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Physical Therapy.

Leveling Up with a Graduate Degree

Professionals interested in expanding their knowledge and licensure can advance their careers by selecting one of the University’s continued education programs. In some cases, this includes enhanced or accelerated programs.
