| Do all of my prerequisites need to be completed
prior to submitting my application to the DPT program?
No. You may submit your application prior to completing all your
prerequisites for the program. Prerequisite courses must be completed
prior to enrolling in the program.
How can I tell if a course will be counted toward my
prerequisites?
When in doubt contact us and we will provide you guidance. Please
forward to us the catalog description of the course(s) in question.
Is there an application deadline?
Applications must be received by the graduate school and the
application fee paid by of the fall proceeding the fall
you wish to enroll.
How many students do you enroll each year?
Our class size is small. We typically enroll approximately 16
students each year.
What are your minimum requirements for enrollment?
Students must have an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0,
prerequisite GPA of 3.0 and GRE scores of 1000 combined. It is
important to note that the standard for admission over the past
several years has been considerably higher than this minimum
requirement.
Do your students get jobs?
100 percent of our students across the past three years have
secured employment.
Is the program accredited?
Yes. The program is accredited by the Commission of Accreditation
of Physical Therapy Education.
Can I talk with somebody?
Sure, our web pages have a number of links where you can make
contact with us. Please feel free to take advantage of this
opportunity.
Who is this person Martha that I am always talking to?
Martha is the administrative assistant to the program and
according to her, she really is director of the program. She can answer
all of your questions.
I noticed that you don’t require admission interviews. Why?
Research has demonstrated that they do not assist in selecting
applicants. If you would like to meet with us please feel free to
contact us to set an interview up.
What are classes like?
Most of our classes are informal and students have a collegial
relationship with faculty. We expect our students to be on time, attend
class and when required dress appropriately. We treat our students
as mature adults who know what appropriate behavior is. When they
don’t we tell them.
What type of anatomy is taken?
Our students take the same full cadaver anatomy that the
medical student’s take. Special emphasis is provided on the
extremities.
Can I talk to students that are currently enrolled?
If you let us know this is what you would like to do we can set
this up for you.
How much does your program cost?
This value changes, please refer to our web site for the link to
tuition and
fees.
Why is your program a half of year longer than most?
Our students complete an independent research project. We fee
that this is one thing that makes our students different. If you are
going to be an evidence-based clinician you need to understand how
research is conducted.
Can I talk with individual faculty?
Of course. Go to the faculty and staff listing, emails of core
faculty are provided. They will be more than happy to talk with you.
The research project scares me, I don’t even have an idea for
a topic?
You don't have to! Your ideas will come as you proceed and interact with faculty
members. We believe that completing the research project is vital
and makes you a better clinician.
