The University of Indianapolis is one of only a few universities in the United States that offers a full range of physical therapy programs from physical therapist assistant to Doctor of Physical Therapy to post-professional education. Our community of faculty, staff, and students work together to contribute to patient care and to advance the profession of physical therapy.

UIndy's Krannert School of Physical Therapy (KSPT) graduates more physical therapists than any institution in Indiana and our programs in physical therapy are nationally ranked. That's important in today's competitive healthcare job market. Individuals who are well prepared in the field of physical therapy will continue to play a vital role in health care in the future.

Professional Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program is a traditional classroom and laboratory program. Classes take place on the UIndy campus weekdays. In addition to the standard curriculum, students may choose to complete 6 credit hours of electives from one of two tracks:

Research Track

The Research Track allows a student to participate in a faculty-designed and advised research project. The student will assist with proposal development; data collection; analysis of findings; and dissemination of findings, which may include a peer-reviewed publication or presentation at a professional conference.

Professional Development Track

The Professional Development Track allows students to further their professional development by exploring an area of practice or by better understanding an interdisciplinary team approach to care. This is accomplished through interdisciplinary coursework and/or independent study arranged with a faculty advisor.
