Program Description

We offer an innovative and accelerated DPT program that allows completion of your degree requirements in two years. Our blended learning format combines best practices in distance education, on-campus lab immersion sessions, and clinical education experiences to prepare you as a future Doctor of Physical Therapy and servant leader in this vital profession. We will deliver a DPT program that embraces the core values of the Baylor University and the physical therapy profession.

The mission of the Baylor University Doctor of Physical Therapy program is to provide an innovative, career-focused and Christian-valued education that develops responsible citizens, servant leaders, dedicated scholars, and exemplary physical therapists who are sensitive to the needs of a pluralistic society.

Our vision is to transform physical therapy education, improve scalability and access to DPT education, increase flexibility for traditional and nontraditional learners, increase the level of active learning in courses, and seek to achieve quality student experiences and outcomes. Our graduates will be prepared for skillful, mindful and compassionate clinical practice, lifelong learning and professional development, and selfless service to their community and profession.
