The Florida Southern Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program prepares physical therapy practitioners through dynamic engaged learning experiences and equips them with skills to provide patient-centered, evidence-based care. 

Our DPT classes are all face-to-face and limited to just 36 students. In this intimate setting, you'll have the benefit of hands-on learning and extra attention from your professors. The program is offered in an accelerated format: in seven total semesters over approximately 28 months.

Florida Southern College has invested millions of dollars in constructing brand new classrooms and laboratories in a state-of-the-art building.

All of our eight full-time school of physical therapy faculty members are doctorally prepared and have unique specialty expertise in such areas as neurological, musculoskeletal, or cardiopulmonary physical therapy.
