Application timing
Graduate DPT applications are reviewed on a rolling, space-available basis in the year before a January start. No fixed date or cycle-specific final deadline is published on the reviewed page. Contact admissions for available seats.
A past date remains past; no date is advanced to a future year. Confirm whether the program requires submission, completion, or verification by its deadline.
Observation experience
The graduate route lists 50 documented observation/work hours in at least two facilities, or at least one year of full-time professional healthcare experience. Confirm acceptance of the experience alternative before applying. PTCAS additionally requests signed facility-letterhead documentation.
