The DPT program has highly-skilled faculty members offering a collegial and supportive learning environment for students' academic and professional development. Study consists of discipline-specific courses that prepare the student for clinical practice and licensure as a physical therapist. Three unpaid full time clinical experiences are required. Additionally, students participate in a variety of experiential community-based learning experiences and a student run pro bono clinic providing care to the underserved.
