Ringkasan program

The post-professional DScPT is designed for physical therapists who received an entry-level bachelor’s or master’s degree in physical therapy and are interested in obtaining an advanced clinical doctorate which includes an individual research project under the guidance of a doctoral committee. This degree will require completion of 75 credits beyond a B.S. degree with up to 36 credits that can be earned from a qualified master’s degree counting toward the DScPT degree. Students must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better to graduate. Credit toward the degree will not be given for courses with grades under 2.5. The transfer credit policy outlined in the graduate catalog will be followed. Per this policy, students may be allowed to transfer up to 9 semester hour credits. Students will be required to take the professional core courses and select a physical therapy concentration (this can include a certificate, an advanced research practicum or an approved set of related coursework for a total of 15-51 credits). All students will develop a plan of study that outlines coursework and plan for degree completion. The student’s adviser must approve this plan of study. All students will complete an individual research project under the direction of a committee chaired by a member of the physical therapy faculty.
