The nationally ranked doctor of physical therapy degree is a three-year program that readies you for physical therapy licensure. Courses and clinical experiences lead to success on the national licensing exam, with an ultimate 3-year (2016, 2017, 2018) pass rate of 100%.
Preparing You For Success

By the time you graduate, your experiences include:
