Physical Therapist Education Programs

Physical therapist education programs are specialized academic and clinical training paths that prepare individuals to become licensed physical therapists. These programs typically include undergraduate coursework, followed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) graduate program, which combines classroom learning in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with supervised clinical practice. Upon completion, graduates must pass licensing exams to practice safely and effectively. The goal is to equip future PTs with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to assess, diagnose, and treat movement-related health issues, helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
