DPTSc Program
An experienced clinician who is interested
in teaching and clinical research must take the GRE as part of the application
to the DPTSc program. It is not necessary to have a master's degree to
apply. Students without a master's degree may need to take some coursework
to bring their knowledge base to the equivalency of the current master's
level of study in physical therapy (e.g. Radiology, Pharmacology, Neuroscience).
The DPTSc student develops an area of
emphasis (eg: neuroscience, engineering, social and behavioral sciences,
public policy, pediatrics), takes a series of courses in research design
and statistics, serves as a teaching assistant and then develops their
research skills by defining and carrying out an independent research project.
The DPTSc program requires approximately 3 years of full time study.
Each of these graduate programs is defined in greater detail under these links: program, admission, costs, resources and faculty.
Application Deadline -- January 1, 2009 for class entering Summer/Fall 2009
