Get ready for licensure and a career in physical therapy with the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. This advanced graduate program in the Department of Human Movement Science equips you with the expertise to assess, diagnose, and treat patients across all age groups and ability levels through clinical practice, research, and hands-on training. The DPT is a professional graduate degree designed to qualify students for licensure and professional practice in physical therapy. The comprehensive curriculum blends theoretical knowledge, clinical application, and research components to prepare graduates for diverse physical therapy environments.
Physical therapy focuses on preventing and treating movement disorders caused by acute or chronic conditions. Practitioners analyze musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, and related systems using principles from basic and behavioral sciences to inform their assessments. Based on these evaluations, they create customized treatment plans to address movement impairments. Physical therapists collaborate with healthcare teams through various referral systems to deliver coordinated patient care.
