Physical Therapy

The School of Physical Therapy offers an entry-level doctoral program in physical therapy leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) degree. Applicants must possess a baccalaureate degree, which may be in any discipline as long as the prerequisites are met.

TUITION, BOARDING AND LODGING: $ 30,000 PER YEAR.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships for graduate students are awarded by individual schools or departments. Students should apply for a graduate scholarship as part of the graduate admissions application process.

PART TIME WORK

Part-time employment offers students the opportunity to 1) earn part of their educational expenses; 2) gain valuable work experience; and, 3) work with staff, faculty, and/or community members. Students who work a moderate number of hours per week often are able to manage their time better than those students who do not work at all.

Approximately two-thirds of all students attending Ohio University receive some type of financial aid from one or more sources.
