tDPT Admission Requirements

Utica College's transitional DPT program capitalizes on the wealth of knowledge and experience that you already have, and offers excellent networking potential with a diverse group of peers and faculty from around the country.

Applicants to the program will have an individualized analysis of their prior education and work experience through submitting a professional portfolio. Faculty will review all materials closely to determine exactly which courses will be necessary for each student to complete the degree. Personal attention and an individualized approach to completing your education are hallmarks to the tDPT program. While students are welcome to take as many of the course offerings as they wish, our goal is to streamline the process so that the degree can be completed in the most efficient manner possible. Students can complete the tDPT program in as few as 12 months.

Requirements:

  • :: Proof of graduation (transcript) from a Physical Therapist degree program accredited    by the CAPTE with a GPA of at least 3.0
  • :: Professional portfolio, which will be reviewed internally to identify courses that    may be waived
  • :: Current state professional license (or proof of eligibility to sit for licensure in the    state of New York)
  • :: Two written recommendations
  • :: Brief essay articulating goals for tDPT study
