Physical therapy is a medical field dedicated to enhancing health and mobility through evidence-based approaches to diagnose, evaluate, treat, and prevent movement disorders. Physical therapists prioritize their patients' overall wellness, striving to comprehend and address the cultural and social values of individuals and families under their care. They take complete accountability for those they treat while advancing their professional field. Temple University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) program aims to cultivate future leaders in healthcare and society through modern education, research, and community service.
Temple's College of Public Health offers a challenging Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program designed to equip students for entry-level practice across diverse clinical and community environments. The curriculum focuses on evidence-based clinical reasoning, teamwork-oriented education, close faculty guidance, and access to cutting-edge facilities and resources.

Master's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: A master's degree is not required.
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: All applicants must possess a completed baccalaureate degree in any discipline with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or be designated as matriculating in an internal articulation agreement (i.e., Temple 3+3 applicant) between approved undergraduate departments at Temple University and the Doctor of Physical Therapy program.
Statement of Goals: Three essay opportunities are presented within the PTCAS application for the applicant to respond to program and profession-specific questions.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: Required. Scores from the test taken within the last 5 years should be in the 50th percentile on at least two of the three test sections (verbal, quantitative, and analytical). It is recommended that applicants have a GRE score for all three sections that are at or near the averages for admitted students.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 79
IELTS Academic: 6.5
550 on the paper-based (PBT)
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
Interview: Qualified applicants are invited to interview with faculty and students of the D.P.T. program. Virtual interviews are available when travel costs are prohibitive.
