Admission to the entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) professional program occurs on an annual basis with Physical Therapy courses beginning in the Fall Term. There are a limited number of spaces in the Physical Therapy program and admission is competitive. Completion of the admission requirements does not guarantee admission.

However, all students admitted to the Doctor of Physical Therapy program must have a minimum of 90 credit hours reflecting both a depth and breadth of educational experiences.
