SOURCE REVIEW · 2026-10-29
Coverage you can inspect.
324 profiles, with a separate review status for every requested field.
United States and Puerto Rico entry-level DPT programs and separately listed admissions pathways. Excludes transitional/postprofessional DPT. Profiles are not a count of independently accredited institutions.
What has been checked

PTCAS source checked means the current public record was retrieved, its cycle identified, and its structured values decoded using the official dictionaries. It does not mean a second institutional source independently confirms every condition.
Current published rate records a tuition rate with an academic year and unit. Provisional estimates, historical figures, inaccessible sources, and unfinished checks remain separately labeled.
Follow-up review
200 of the original 200 unresolved tuition profiles rechecked. This pass found 112 current tuition rates or estimates and 3 provisional rates. Current bundled tuition-and-fee schedules remain separate from tuition-only rates.

Admissions findings
| Program | Resolution or remaining question |
|---|---|
| University of Arizona | Arizona’s admissions FAQ sends applicants back to PTCAS for deadlines. Fresh PTCAS data still places the stated close date before the priority date. Its broad community-service examples also differ from the school’s standard-pathway PT-clinic requirement. |
| University of Utah | The refreshed PTCAS record still has zero required and 50 recommended hours, but a narrative field calls 50 a minimum. Utah’s admissions page explicitly requires PT exposure with no numerical minimum and recommends 50 hours across two settings. The disagreement remains. |
| Tufts University - Boston, MA | The current Boston admissions page and PTCAS still differ on repeated-course grading and GPA exceptions. The school page itself lists labs for all six biology/chemistry/physics courses but separately permits four of six. Neither source establishes which statement supersedes the other. |
| Auburn University | Auburn’s current prospective-student page announces July 1, 2027 opening for the 2027–28 cycle but supplies no closing date. A search-indexed official notice covers the earlier 2026–27 extension; it cannot establish the next cycle’s deadline. |
| Maryville University of Saint Louis | The current official DPT pages confirm freshman early assurance. General university rolling-admission information does not establish a DPT-specific external or professional-phase deadline. No applicable dated final deadline was found. |
| University of Arizona- Alternative Pathway | The alternative pathway is a separate admissions route into the same DPT program. Its PTCAS dates remain reversed, and the breadth of eligible service experience needs confirmation against the school’s PT-related experience wording. |
| University of Florida | UF’s criteria and FAQ corroborate the 40-hour mix and require PT-verified documentation. Its procedures page moves a weekend November 1 deadline to Monday, consistent with PTCAS November 2, 2026. A separate PTCAS observation field still says October 30, so the observation cutoff remains unresolved. |
| University of Minnesota | Deadline reconciled by application cycle: the March 31 timeline explicitly describes 2025–26. The How to Apply page explicitly covers the 2026–27 cycle and Summer 2027 entry, with a February 15 close. Online-lab rules still contradict one another. |
| University of Missouri | The program and Graduate School independently list September 30 for summer-entry DPT applications. This verifies the recurring deadline policy, but neither page explicitly dates the application deadline; the calendar date remains unset. Linked application forms require sign-in and could not provide public year-specific confirmation. |
An annual policy without a confirmed year does not create a dated dashboard deadline. Conflicts remain flagged until the official sources reconcile them.

What remains unresolved
- Source checked means the current published PTCAS structured field was retrieved and decoded, not that the school independently confirmed it.
- Tuition verification remains incomplete. Combined program costs cannot be used as tuition-only estimates.
- CAPTE entries include campus expansions; PTCAS includes separate pathways and start cohorts. Mappings are retained in catalog-matches.json.
- Not every listed program is accepting external applications; confirm the pathway and whether admission is currently open.
- Narrative conditions and institutional-source discrepancies require further review.
313 accreditation entries have explicit PTCAS mappings; 1 accreditation entries and 2 PTCAS entries were excluded with reasons in the reconciliation file. All U.S. accreditation entries are accounted for; profiles can represent shared campuses or distinct admissions pathways.
Sources and evidence
CAPTE / APTA accreditation directory and the current PTCAS directory establish the roster. Individual profiles link to program and institutional sources. Retrieved raw records, timestamps and hashes are retained in a separate source archive.
Blank values are unknown, not waived. No deadline year is inferred. No full-program tuition total is extrapolated from annual or per-credit rates. Candidate status is never presented as accreditation.
