Specialization is available to DPT students in three areas:  Early Intervention, Global Health and Research.  DPT students pursuing specialization receive recognition on their transcripts and gain valuable experience in an area of interest to them. To obtain specialization the student completes both required and elective coursework that exceeds the requirements needed for the DPT degree.  Each specialization includes didactic and practicum courses.
