Post-Professional Doctor of Physical Therapy
Expand your clinical knowledge, skills, and practices to current professional doctor of physical therapy (DPT) standards.
As of 2015, all entry-level accredited physical therapy programs are DPT programs. If you are a licensed physical therapist with an older master’s or bachelor’s degree in physical therapy, the post-professional doctor of physical therapy degree gives you the opportunity to update your credentials to the doctorate level, filling in the gaps between your professional baccalaureate or master's degree PT education and the current professional DPT degree education.
Program Length
The program is 30 graduate credits, usually taken over 2-4 semesters. Life experience and graduate education are evaluated to count towards credits. The program is designed to take 2-3 years, but can be tailored to your needs.
Program Format
All students are required to be employed in a physical therapy setting while in the program. Courses are seminar format, each course given over two-to-four full days to accommodate your work schedule. Coursework can count towards CEU credits.
