The Ohio State University offers a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. We have over 50 years of experience in preparing students for successful careers in physical therapy, a well-trained faculty, excellent health-care facilities, and a network of supportive alumni. Most of the information you need is here on the webpage but if you have specific questions, please contact our admissions advisor Lisa Terek.

If you are already a physical therapist, Ohio State University has many great post-professional educational opportunities. They include a Clinical Residency in Sports Physical Therapy or Orthopaedic Physical Therapy - these residencies are offered jointly between the Division of Physical Therapy and the OSU Sports Medicine Center.

We also have a Masters of Science (MS) in Allied Health and Doctorate (PhD) in Health and Rehabilitation Science. Please visit these interdisciplinary degree programs offered within the School of Allied Medical Professions. Our faculty serve as advisors to students in these programs and welcome the opportunity to mentor you in these programs.

If you are a college student ready to apply for PT school and you are highly motivated to pursue both your DPT and a PhD for a future career in academics and research, please contact John Buford, Chair of the Health and Rehabilitation Sciences PhD Program, about our combined DPT/PhD program.
