The Post-Professional DPT is an option for licensed physical therapists seeking to earn a doctor of physical therapy degree. Applicants to the post-professional DPT curriculum must complete a Spalding University Graduate School application, provide evidence of a current physical therapy license in any US jurisdiction, and have a minimum overall 3.0 GPA in previous graduate coursework.

The post-professional track requires 30 credit hours of coursework for completion. A minimum of 20 credits of Spalding University DPT Program coursework is required. Students can transfer up to 10 credits of previous graduate-level physical therapy coursework, or can complete all 30 credit hours of coursework at Spalding University. Transfer credits are approved by the program Director.
