Become a Physical Therapist

George Fox University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree is a three-year graduate-level professional program that will prepare you to be eligible for licensure and entry into contemporary physical therapy practice.

Graduates will be trained to find employment as physical therapists in:

• Rehabilitation centers/clinics
• Independent outpatient clinics
• Acute care centers
• Skilled nursing facilities
• Home health settings
• Sports medicine clinics 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates an increased demand for physical therapist with an employment increase of 26% between 2016 and 2026.

We are one of only two physical therapy schools in Oregon and one of just  six  governing members  in the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) to offer a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. We are also the only Christian university in the Pacific Northwest with a physical therapy program.
