Thank you for your interest in the Program in Physical Therapy!
We are happy to help you with any questions or concerns that you may have regarding our program.
Here are a few quick facts about our program:
The Program in Physical Therapy is an early assurance DPT program. Students enter the program as freshman and continue to completion of the DPT degree without additional application or taking the GRE. This creates a comfortable atmosphere for friendships and cooperative studying with your classmates. Progression in the program is based on your own academic and professional performance.
Our early assurance DPT program takes place over 6 years, including 2 summers. There are many opportunities in addition to our DPT program, to pursue minors, double majors, as well as to study abroad in the fall semester of your junior year.
Program in physical therapy faculty are recognized in their field holding a variety of clinical specialties, such as orthopedics, neurology, geriatrics, and wound care. Additionally, they are involved in research and scholarship related to the field of physical therapy presenting the latest evidence regionally, nationally, and internationally.
