The t-DPT program enhances practicing physical therapists' skills and is available in two formats: on-campus for internationally trained therapists and interactive online for licensed therapists in the U.S. or Canada. Both formats aim to empower graduates to become entry-level DPTs and direct access practitioners.

The tDPT admission process requires a bachelor's degree equivalent, licensure as a physical therapist, three recommendations, transcripts, and proof of English proficiency. Internationally trained applicants must complete an FCCPT Education Credential Review. Online applicants with a master's degree must additionally provide a portfolio with a resume and details of continuing education and certifications.

Andrews University offers two transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy (tDPT) options:  an on-campus program for internationally trained physical therapists (38 credits) and an interactive online program (35 credits) for those who have earned a bachelor’s or master’s degree in physical therapy in the United States or Canada.  The cost of these programs ranges from $31,785 to $47,275.  Click below for more details.
