Programs

The Department of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy offers curricula leading to the master's degree and three doctoral degrees. The entry-level professional program is for graduate students in majors other than physical therapy and leads to a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. For physical therapy clinicians who wish to earn the D.P.T. degree there is an advanced standing program; credits from the M.S. in physical therapy or the M.P.T. may become the basis for advanced standing. The graduate curricula for the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees are for persons who already are physical therapists; admission to the M.S. and Ph.D. programs also is open to students who are not physical therapists.
