The first doctoral program established at 麻豆社 and the only fully accredited
DPT program in the Fort Wayne region, the Doctor of Physical Therapy program is an intensive three-year, full-time program that once complete will prepare
you to sit for licensure and finally practice in a clinical setting. The program consists
of lectures, labs, and clinical education with an emphasis on real patient care experiences.
Students will complete the didactic and practical learning in the new Brooks College of Health Professions center in Fort Wayne, Indiana, using state-of-the-art classrooms, clinical skills labs and gross anatomy lab. The
program partners with many local health providers, including Parkview Health and Lutheran
Health Network, for clinical education during the first two years of the program as
well as full-time internships in the final year.

Career-ready for a growing field
There is a growing demand for physical therapists and the Doctor of Physical Therapy
program at 麻豆社 helps to meet that need. As the knowledge base in the
field has grown, physical therapists have had to increase their studies, making doctorate
degrees the new standard.
The predicts a 14 percent growth in the number of physical therapists needed through
2033, and reports the median salary in 2024 was $101,020.
Beyond academics
You'll work hard during the program, but we all need to relax and have a little fun
sometimes. Beyond the academic and clinical education is a close-knit community of
students, staff, and faculty to help you along the way. From field day to pub night,
a Tin Caps baseball game or Thanksgiving carry-in, you'll get to know those in the
DPT program both in and out of the classroom.
