In this blended learning program, you’ll earn your Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in seven semesters. After passing the NPTE licensure exam, you will emerge as a clinician with a strong foundation in clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice and be a valuable contributor to the interprofessional health care team.
BGSU DPT uses a holistic review strategy for admissions and recruitment, reducing barriers to the physical therapy profession. Bowling Green State University (BGSU)’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program adheres to Non-Discrimination in Employment and Education policy established by the University. In consideration of this policy, persons with bachelor’s degrees from accredited institutions, who meet the pre-requisites established by BGSU’s DPT Program and demonstrate promising scholastic standing, along with professional potential, are considered for admission.
Our faculty support every student’s academic and career success. Our accelerated, hybrid-delivered DPT model means our graduates can enter the workforce and earn an income sooner than students in a traditional three-year DPT program.
