One of the leading comprehensive universities in Texas, the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio strives to educate men and women who will become concerned and enlightened citizens with values developed in a Judeo-Christian tradition. It’s the largest Catholic university in Texas and the fourth-largest private university in the state. The enrollment reflects the diversity of South Texas, as more than 60 percent of the students are from racial or ethnic minority groups.

The UIW School of Physical Therapy is located on a satellite campus on the west side of San Antonio, Texas. We have approximately 150 students from a variety of backgrounds. The UIW School of Physical Therapy utilizes a problem-based curriculum (PBL) to educate physical therapists who, through skilled, reflective, holistic patient-centered practice, optimize movement and wellness for the common good of society. We are committed to graduating general practitioners who are self-directed lifelong learners, and who address patient and societal needs through evidence-based decision making, and promote the achievement of societal health goals. 

Our faculty are further committed to contributing to the body of physical therapy knowledge through scholarship, and serving the traditionally underserved populations in Texas and globally through education and outreach.
