Online
 
In 1999 Creighton University instituted a Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy program to make doctoral level education readily accessible to licensed practitioners. The Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT) advocates a commitment to patients and society by inculcating a lifelong commitment to learning, service, and reflective inquiry-based practice. As such, it is in harmony with the values of the profession of Physical Therapy.
