Program Offerings

• BS/DPT Program (6-year, undergraduate-graduate)
  The BS/DPT Physical Therapy program is a six-year program comprised of three pre-professional years focused on Nazareth College's core curriculum plus three professional years focused on clinical experience. The advantage of this program is that, as long as students maintain the required grade point average, they do not have to reapply for a graduate program.
• DPT Program (3-year, graduate)
  The D.P.T. degree in Physical Therapy builds on a foundation of pre-requisites with contemporary, relevant professional education in physical therapy. In this professional three-year program, you’ll combine classroom studies with hands-on clinical experiences.
  
  

The Nazareth College of Rochester Physical Therapy (PT) Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
