About the Program
The BSBS–DPT 3+3 Accelerated Program provides a streamlined pathway from a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences to a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Students complete three years of focused biomedical sciences coursework, then transition directly into the DPT program while finishing bachelor’s requirements. Designed for motivated students, the program offers a supportive, efficient route to professional physical therapy preparation.
From Scientific Foundations to Clinical Excellence
During the first three years, students build a strong foundation in biomedical sciences through coursework designed to support advanced study in the health professions, with selected classes aligned specifically to physical therapy preparation.
