Entry Level DPT (e-DPT)

Welcome

The application period for June 2008 enrollment will begin in September 2007.

The entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy program is designed for individuals who have completed a bachelor's degree, and will prepare them to become licensed physical therapists. It is a three-year program in UW Milwaukee's state-of-the-art new facility located on the third floor of the Pavilion. Instruction will be by faculty who have distinguished themselves in their fields and have proven themselves as exceptional classroom instructors and innovative researchers.

This degree is a consortial degree with our partner, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Each university will be offering their separate DPT degree on the respective campuses, utilizing the same curriculum.

The UWS Doctor of Physical Therapy at The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee has been granted Candidate for Accreditation status by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education of the American Physical Therapy Association (1111North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA, 22314; phone: 703-706-3245; email: accreditation@apta.org ). Candidacy is not an accreditation status nor does it assure eventual accreditation. Candidate for Accreditation is a pre-accreditation status of affiliation with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education that indicates the program is progressing toward accreditation.
