Program Description

The Doctor of Physical Therapy at Widener University program is a three year, full-time day program located in the Philadelphia region. The curriculum and culture of the Institute focuses on fostering DPT students in competency, character, and citizenship, preparing them for contemporary practice within a complex world. 

Central to our program is our commitment to experiential learning, professional leadership, and civic engagement. We accomplish this through a variety of service learning projects, the community health practicum, our physical therapy student association, our student-run pro bono clinic, and optional international learning experiences. DPT students have the opportunity to engage in authentic learning experiences throughout the curriculum as well as embrace leadership opportunities within the student-run pro bono clinic, the program, and the profession. Come to Widener because you want to become a competent physical therapist of great character, ready to make a positive difference in society and the physical therapy profession.
