Reconstructive surgery programs focus on how to repair damaged tissue due to various diseases, birth defects, or trauma. Common procedures include cleft lip repair, breast reconstruction, tissue expansion, and skin cancer removal. The goal of these procedures is to improve both the functionality and appearance of the affected tissue.

Students can select individual courses in accordance with their interests. Students may also structure a series of classes in a way that might achieve specific objectives such as improving job skills, pursuing new careers, or obtaining certificates or degrees.
