This clinical doctorate is rapidly becoming the educational standard for the field. The program trains our physical therapists to have both a strong foundation in the biological sciences as well as a broad clinical background in patient care. The DPT does not require a bachelor's degree for admission, but instead, a minimum of three years of prerequisite coursework.CreightonÆs Doctor of Physical Therapy program prepares therapists who are dedicated to helping others by providing services that help restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Our students learn to restore, maintain, and promote the overall fitness and health of their patients. Our DPT program prepares our graduates to fulfill all of the traditional duties of physical therapists, while helping them become transformational leaders of the profession. The program is based on models of other professional doctorate degrees in health sciences, such as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and occupational therapy.     Accreditation Information:   # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time: 206  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 349  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $595  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $11900  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black: No   Religious Affiliation: Roman Catholic
