A minimum of a B average in previous physical therapy course work is desirable for potential applicants. Selected courses in 2 areas of study, the Foundation Core and the Clinical Science Core, are open to qualified students who have not been formally admitted to the program. Courses in the remaining 3 areas of study are not open to non-candidates. Permission to enroll in courses must be obtained from the Director. A maximum of 12 units of course work may be taken in the DPT curriculum prior to submitting an application for admission as a degree candidate.
Tuition is based on the number of credit hours.
Financial aid is not available through the Program in Physical Therapy. Because the curriculum is directly related to the physical therapist's professional role, however, many health care and educational institutions provide tuition benefits. Applications for admission as a degree candidate may be submitted throughout the year. Applications will be reviewed and students will be admitted only in January and July of each year. These forms are in PDF format.
