What School of Health Sciences of Touro University does

The School of Health Sciences of Touro University is a private, non-profit educational institution operating as a constituent school of the Touro College and University System. Founded in 1972 in Brooklyn with an initial physician assistant class of 22 students, the school has grown into a four-campus operation spanning Manhattan (3 Times Square), Brooklyn (902 Quentin Road and 2002 Avenue J), Central Islip on Long Island (225 Eastview Drive), East Meadow, and Middletown in the Hudson Valley (60 Prospect Avenue). It serves prospective and current graduate and doctoral students pursuing accredited health-professions degrees.

The school's academic portfolio comprises nearly a dozen accredited programs spanning Nursing (BSN, MSN, FNP, DNP), Doctor of Physical Therapy (BS/DPT and Orthopedic Residency Certificate), Physician Assistant (BS/MS at Manhattan and Long Island, MS at Middletown), Occupational Therapy (BS/MS and OTD), Speech-Language Pathology (MS), Behavior Analysis (MS), Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MS), General Psychology (MA), Industrial-Organizational Psychology (MS), and Doctor of Psychology (PsyD). Teaching infrastructure includes simulation labs with mock hospital rooms, ultrasound and IV equipment, practice mannequins, an on-campus Speech and Hearing Center with eight therapy rooms, and a 2026 integration of the SimCare AI avatar-based clinical training platform for mental health counseling students. Generative AI tools were additionally introduced for pediatric physical therapy education in 2026.

The school monetizes primarily through tuition for graduate and professional degree programs and post-professional certificates, supplemented by philanthropic donations directed to scholarships and program enhancements. It partners with over 300 healthcare facilities throughout the New York area for clinical rotations, markets itself as an affordable alternative to peer institutions, and reports that 99% of graduates who pass licensing and certification exams find employment within six months. The school is led by Dean Dr. Steven Lorenzet, appointed in May 2022, and operates as an integral part of the larger Touro University system.
