The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program prepares graduates to become licensed physical therapists. The program uses a selective admission process from which a new class of 23 students is invited each summer trimester to begin study in the 3-year DPT program. The curriculum, grounded in Christian principles, builds on the students undergraduate foundation in the arts and sciences, and includes 126 graduate-level credits where students progress through and integrate foundational and clinical sciences, patient/client management skills, and ultimately, the provision of person-centered care.

Top candidates are invited to campus for an on-site group interview. The 1/2 day interview consists of individual interviews with faculty, a tour of campus, a group activity, and a reflective writing assignment.

The applicant's acceptance letter will contain a deadline indicating when the nonrefundable $500 deposit must be received by the University. The deposit is required to reserve the student's place in the program. Once the student enrolls in the program, this deposit will be applied toward the student's account.  Students who have paid the deposit, but decide not to, or become ineligible to, enroll in the program, for any reason, will forfeit the deposit.
