Admissions
Elon DPT is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in admissions. Our program seeks to build a class of students who represent a variety of backgrounds and experiences in order to develop dedicated and empathetic health care professionals.
We evaluate each application on its own merits. Admission decisions are based on all academic work (including undergraduate GPA and science GPA), interview scores, letters of recommendation, demonstrated service, and leadership ability. Motivation, maturity, interpersonal skills, knowledge of the profession and the health care system, and the mission of the Elon DPT program are also considered.
Admission to Elon DPT is highly competitive. Prospective applicants are encouraged to review the Class Profile and Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about the average criteria of matriculated students and what is looked for in an application file.
Accelerated Pathways
Accelerated Pathways is a selective undergraduate program at Elon University that provides students an opportunity for admission and enrollment into the DPT program. Students must complete targeted programming throughout their undergraduate career in addition to meeting all requirements for matriculation into the DPT program. The undergraduate coursework and programming completed in the Accelerated Pathways Program does not replace any of the DPT curriculum or count as “advanced placement.” Following completion of all Accelerated Pathway requirements, students participate in a final interview prior to acceptance into the DPT program.
Prospective undergraduate students interested in the Accelerated Pathways program may view information about the program and admissions process here. Please work with your undergraduate Admissions Counselor to apply.
