I would like to thank you for visiting us on this website. It is a pleasure to present to you the three remarkable programs that we offer in our college.
The environmental crisis that we are experiencing has highlighted the need for dedicated and outstanding healthcare professionals who will work in the different healthcare facilities. And we are proud to say that Lorma Colleges - College of Physical and Respiratory Therapy has produced and continues to produce outstanding physical therapists and respiratory therapists who are working and will be working in health facilities not only in the region but in other parts of the globe. Many international students have graduated, passed their eligibility requirements and are now working in their home countries. There is an extremely high employment rate especially for a physical therapist and or as a respiratory therapist.
A new program to add to these excellent health professions in the college is the Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Sciences Major in Fitness and Sports Management (BSESS-FSM) which is designed to prepare students for careers in the areas of fitness and sports coaching and management. The program is geared towards exploring the science of physical activity to help athletes become better athletes, help those injured to safely return to activity, to research new approaches to exercise and physical activity, and how to manage sports facilities and related activities.
