The primary goal of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program is to graduate a well-rounded and highly competent clinician. Fifteen full-time faculty members with diverse clinical backgrounds, along with adjunct faculty, offer an entry-level curriculum that is well balanced in the areas of orthopedic, neurologic, and general physical therapy with attention to the needs of pediatric patients, geriatric patients, and other special populations.
We're here to help on your way to becoming a physical therapist! Learn about the admissions process and contact your admissions counselor.
Our Doctor of Physical Therapy program runs three academic years with summers off. Starting at the end of the first year of study, clinical learning experiences are intermixed with the academic coursework.
