For anyone who does not know, UCA is one of the premier PT schools in the US. This is yet another grand accomplishment. Congrats to all in PT and Health Sciences...I once heard Dean Hattelstad (?) speak and say the deans he coordinates with (he goes there and they come here) are places like Cornell, Duke, UCLA and Purdue...pretty good company for a little football school in Cornway, Arkinsaw....
