Ambassador Program at the University of St. Augustine
The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences has an Ambassador Agreement with Baldwin-Wallace College. This agreement provides an educational track that will permit a student to select both an undergraduate major and a “targeted” post baccalaureate admission to the University of St. Augustine entry-level program in either Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy.
The student that will select this targeted program track will meet both B-W’s academic requirements and the academic requirements for the completion of stated prerequisite courses for admission to the health care programs at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. This Ambassador Program will facilitate the student’s efforts toward accomplishing academic goals and professional development by providing appropriate counseling and guidance to expedite acceptance into our graduate programs. To find out more about this opportunity contact: Dr. Amy Jo Sutterluety at asutterl@bw.edu.
