Sargent by the numbers

What is Sargent, and why does it merit your support?

The Sargent community now includes more than 1,000 undergraduate and nearly 800 graduate students. According to U.S. News & World Report, our graduate programs rank in the top 20 nationally— the occupational therapy program at No. 1 out of 198 programs; the speech-language pathology program at No. 10 out of 261; and the physical therapy program at No. 20 out of 239.

Our approach to research and teaching is purposefully interdisciplinary, bringing together all of our clinical programs under one roof. This not only helps promote a deep appreciation for work across the professions, among all the members of our intellectual community; it also reflects the future of quality healthcare.

Today, the college has 79 full-time and 31 part-time faculty, who last year received nearly $20 million in federal and grant funding—an average of $700,000 per tenure-track faculty member. Our students and faculty work together on interdisciplinary research, and provide patient care, at more than 30 on-campus clinical education centers, research labs, and research centers. We also have a robust clinical program that includes more than 1,200 clinical sites, comprising all 50 U.S. states and giving our students the opportunity to develop practical skills in a diverse range of real-world, interdisciplinary settings.

And finally, we are proud to count over 20,000 alumni in 72 countries—skilled professionals who support our work through their example and their generosity to Sargent.
