Thank you for your interest in Ohio State’s Physical Therapy program.

As a future physical therapy professional, you will be entering a challenging but rewarding career in health care that helps individuals recovering from injury or illness or prevents the loss of skills among those at risk.

In order to achieve success as a physical therapy professional, you will need to be able to think and act independently, be decisive, make accurate diagnoses, and solve problems knowledgeably and creatively.

To better prepare you for meeting these challenges, Ohio State’s Physical Therapy division offers the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. This rigorous curriculum includes a balanced mix of theory, practice and research experience.

If you are a student who is highly motivated to pursue your DPT and PhD for a future career in academics and research, please visit the PhD of Health & Rehabilitaiton Sciences website and read about our combined DPT/PhD program.

We also have three interdiscipliany specializations in Early Intervention/Early Childhood, Global Health and Research in Allied Med, that you can complete along side your DPT. 

We appreciate your interest in the Physical Therapy Graduate Program at The Ohio State University
