Pre-Physical Therapy

Looking at Leg photo

Our Pre-Physical Therapy Program is designed for those students who desire to attend physical therapy school upon undergraduate degree completion. We offer several services in order to prepare students for the often rigorous journey in becoming a physical therapist, including:

  • Advising
  • Research Opportunities
  • Student Organizations

Prephysical therapy students are encouraged to select a major in which they feel they will excel. PrePT students can choose a major in either the science or nonscience disciplines. Regardless of major chosen, prePT students will still need to complete the required courses for our prephysical therapy program in addition to the courses needed for their major degree plan.

Doctor of Physical Therapy Program

(not affiliated with the Office of Prehealth Studies)

Baylor University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, housed within Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences, offers an innovative, hybrid format that can be completed in just 26 months. This program blends online coursework with immersive, hands-on lab sessions in Waco and Temple, TX, and includes 31 weeks of full-time clinical experiences in diverse settings nationwide. Rooted in Christian values, Baylor’s DPT program prepares graduates to serve as skilled clinicians and servant leaders in the physical therapy profession.

The program is accredited by CAPTE and boasts exceptional student outcomes. Students benefit from a financial advantage by completing their degree sooner than traditional programs, reducing tuition costs, and entering the workforce earlier.

With a national reach, Baylor’s DPT program allows students to complete coursework from anywhere in the U.S., with occasional visits to Baylor’s campus for hands-on labs. Learn more at baylor.edu/dpt or contact us for more information.
