Program Overview

Northeastern University Physical Therapy graduates are innovative, global leaders who excel in clinical practice, research, and community service. As one of the longest accredited Physical Therapy Programs in the United States, and the only program with Cooperative Education, our students graduate with exceptional clinical decision-making skills, and experience in the field of physical therapy.

The Postbaccalaureate Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program is designed for individuals who hold a minimum of a baccalaureate degree in any major other than physical therapy and have satisfied the prerequisite requirements.


A hallmark of our program is experiential learning and we offer students a variety of educational opportunities including:

  • lectures
  • labs
  • cadaveric anatomy labs (within multiple courses)
  • service learning
  • interprofessional education
  • clinical education

Embedded within our 38-month program is a unique and valuable cooperative (co-op) education experience, a six-month paid work opportunity in a physical therapy setting.

Students participate in several simulated patient encounters with people living in the community, representing a variety of health conditions, as well as standardized patients in our interprofessional, state-of-the-art high-fidelity simulation center.

Our DPT program builds on the university’s core values of interdisciplinary education, urban engagement, and cutting-edge research. Our exceptional faculty and staff are dedicated to promoting excellence in interprofessional practice, education, scholarship, and service.
