Community
Learn With People Who Bring Out Your Best
From the moment you arrive at George Fox, you’ll be part of a community that shares a deep compassion for individuals and a desire to improve their lives. Learning together and serving people in the local community clinic and on service trips abroad will add incredible richness to your experience, and the insights you gain along the way will transform the way you approach your life’s work.
Be Part of a Caring Family
The strength of our community lies not only in the diverse interests and talents we bring to the table, but also in how we share. Everyone in your cohort will share resources, notes and insights, and you’ll be surrounded by people who encourage you, bring out your best work, and help you succeed. You’ll also bond with your classmates over game and movie nights, faculty-hosted dinners, student-prepared breakfast gatherings, and special events.
“If you’re looking for community, you’ll find it at George Fox,” says Micah Trevizu, who graduated from the program in 2025. “Your classmates become part of your daily routine. Everyone shares the challenges, the joys, the ups and downs – and you can always count on them to support you.”
Receive Unmatched Faculty Support
The depth of connection you experience in your cohort will extend to your professors, all of whom exemplify the university’s Be Known promise. They don’t have office hours; they have an open-door policy instead. Need to talk? Come by, call, text or FaceTime your professors. They’re always available, and they'll quickly become mentors, friends and colleagues.
“The faculty in the George Fox DPT program were instrumental in preparing me to go out and chase big dreams, ask hard questions and redefine the world of physical therapy,” says Jaydee Romick, director of clinical success for Motusi, a health technology company. “They are here for a bigger purpose.”
Be Empowered for Life
At George Fox, a culture of compassion and curiosity will inspire you to make the most of your unique gifts. Add to our collective wisdom, make your presence felt throughout the greater community, and use your newfound knowledge to improve lives and advance the practice of physical therapy throughout your career.
“Everyone at Fox pushes you to be empowered, to be bold, and to make an impact wherever you go," says Desiray Anderson, who provided physical therapy to children with special needs during a service trip to Uganda. “I couldn't be more thankful that I chose George Fox. I don’t think I would be the clinician and person that I am today without the faculty and students at Fox behind me.”
