Physical Therapy at SUNY Upstate!

Posted by April Miller on 11/1/2024

Hello from SUNY Upstate,
We have a lot of news to announce regarding our Physical Therapy program and DPT Early Assurance!
 
  1. Our Physical Therapy students can now complete their DPT degree in 2.5 years (8 semesters) whereas the previous program took three years.  One less semester lowers the overall cost of earning their DPT degree and gets the graduates into the job market sooner. 
 
  1. We’re officially no longer requiring the SAT or ACT for applicants to our 3+3 and 4+3 DPT Early Assurance programs.
 
  1. We have our first 4+3 DPT Early Assurance agreement!  We’ve partnered with SUNY Potsdam and admitted 4+3 students can attend SUNY Potsdam for Exercise Science (Clinical track).  The benefits:
 
    1. They will have a faculty advisor at Potsdam who advises them during their undergraduate years. 
    2. The Exercise Science (Clinical track) curriculum has been designed to meet all prerequisites for the Physical Therapy program at SUNY Upstate and all the degree requirements for the Exercise Science, BS degree at Potsdam. 
 
Admitted 4+3 DPT Early Assurance students can continue to attend the accredited college of their choice, for the major of their choice.  And all admitted 4+3 students will also work with the DPT Early Assurance Admissions Advisor at SUNY Upstate.  
 
 
  1. 4. Lastly, we’re hosting DPT Early Assurance Virtual Information Sessions in December for high school students considering a career as a Physical Therapist.  High school students of every grade level are welcome to attend.  Please share the attached flyer with your students.
