Davis & Elkins College and Marshall University have entered a collaboration that will benefit students pursuing graduate study in physical therapy. The agreement offers two D&E graduates, who meet specific criteria, acceptance into the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Marshall University School of Physical Therapy.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job market for physical therapists is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations at 18 percent through 2029 as a result of aging baby boomers. While an increasing number of Davis & Elkins students show an interest in entering the field, Professor of Sport Science Dr. Mary Ann DeLuca and Assistant Professor of Sport Science Dr. Jennifer Riggleman worked with leaders at Marshall University College of Health Professions to reach the agreement.
Forward Fall/Winter 2023
On the Cover: Davis & Elkins College President Chris A. Wood, Graduates Anna Ruf and Hussain Hamide. Both are recipients of the 2023 Algernon Sydney Sullivan Awards. They come from different parts of the world, two vastly dissimilar cultures, and polar opposite paths to D&E. Yet, on our campus where personal growth is cultivated and positive individual characteristics are brought to light, these two award recipients could not be more alike.

“Can I afford D&E?”
%
Receive Aid
Most of our students need some financial help… and they get it.
98% of D&E students receive financial aid, and a large portion of those tuition dollars come from our nine robust scholarship programs.
As a Division II school, nearly half our students take advantage of our athletic scholarship. Other programs support international students, creative arts studies, members of the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA), and many more.
Define &
When I knew I would be so far away from Texas for college, my Father said I would need a place that felt like family. I found it here at D&E. Welcome to my home!
Through athletics, you’ll Defend the Hills, working as hard in competition as you do in the classroom, and Encourage teammates and classmates with your strength of character.
The Highlands Scholarship was definitely part of my decision to attend D&E. I was on the borderline of not being able to afford tuition, but Highlands, along with other scholarships, made it affordable for me.
You’ll find your Desire to live a life of purpose increase as you Engage in nurturing relationships with faculty and staff.
Not only did the Honors Program help me realize how much I love my choice in vocation, it also allowed me to meet new, amazing people and learn new things.
And in this arts & culture community, you’ll Design cultural experiences and Enlighten others through creative self-expression.
I definitely think there are more opportunities for students at a smaller college and you get more one-on-one interaction with professors.
At D&E, you’ll Define yourself and become elevated to leadership.
We’ve been leading the way for over a century.
Their entrepreneurial spirit set this college town in motion. Today, Elkins is a small but bustling arts community that draws thousands each fall for the annual Mountain State Forest Festival while Davis & Elkins College draws students from all over the world.
