Our Professional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program prepares outstanding clinicians to enter practice across the full spectrum of physical therapy settings. Our program equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to function as physical therapists in increasingly complex and independent roles. The DPT program at the University of Indianapolis is distinctive in many ways.

Fall 2014 DPT applications are due by October 1, 2013.
