CURRICULUM DESIGN
The program's curricular content, scope and sequence
are viewed in terms of a woven artifact, fitting
for the Philadelphia University milieu. The woven fabric is comprised of warp,
the vertical strands, and weft, the horizontal strands.
Four broad curricular themes are represented by the warp:
- Occupational Performance: Person-Environment-Occupation
- Evidence-based Practice and Professional Development
- Collaboration and Professional Advocacy
- Innovative Learning Strategies and Critical Thinking
The weft of the fabric are the horizontal
strands that represent the curriculum's closely integrated courses.
Course sequencing is based on the belief that students are best able to integrate
concepts when they confront ideas over time in multiple ways. 
The resulting fabric, rich in design and color, strong and resilient, represents the uniquely prepared
Philadelphia University Occupational Therapist who is capable of addressing multiple environments and challenges.
