Fifteen students earned degrees Sunday, Dec. 12, becoming the second group of graduates to receive Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees as part of Elon's transitional DPT program. Details...
The transitional DPT program was developed when Elon’s physical therapy program recently began awarding doctoral degrees, the new national standard for the profession. Previously, Elon physical therapy students had earned master’s degrees (MPT).
The transitional DPT program is offered to Elon MPT graduates, giving them the opportunity to earn the equivalent of a DPT degree. A 6-month program, the transitional DPT curriculum is delivered primarily online, with additional coursework beyond the MPT degree requirements to qualify students for the DPT degree.
This latest group of graduates joins 18 students who received DPT degrees last June. December graduates are listed below:
- Kristi Baxley
