About the program
Boston University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program delivers what students need to become excellent practitioners: a wide range of experience, instruction, and inspiration. Practice as a physical therapist is varied, and can involve anything from post-surgery rehabilitation; to treating children with developmental disorders; to conducting research on fall prevention for geriatric patients. Because physical therapy covers it all, so does Sargent College.
