Doctor of Physical Therapy (119 hrs.)
The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program (DPT) will provide students with the skills and expertise needed for a rewarding career as a professional physical therapist.
Students enrolled in Trine University's DPT program will be required to participate in clinical education experiences and internships in addition to the didactic coursework within the curriculum. These experiences will include part-time integrated clinical experiences (CARE) during the first five semesters and four full-time clinical internships. It is Trine University's DPT program philosophy "to bring students to the real world of physical therapy," therefore, 34 weeks of the curriculum are dedicated to full-time clinical internships. Students are required to complete clinical affiliations in a variety of settings with the intended goal to be an entry-level physical therapist at graduation.
