Physical Therapy
Shaping the Future of Physical Therapy
Welcome to the Department of Physical Therapy at Sam Houston State University. Our developing entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program is designed to prepare students for excellence in clinical practice through an innovative, student-centered curriculum that combines rigorous academic study with extensive hands-on clinical experiences.
Located within the College of Health Sciences, our program is built on the foundation of academic excellence, high-quality patient care, and commitment to professional standards. At SHSU, we're not just teaching physical therapy—we're transforming lives and empowering future healthcare professionals to make meaningful differences in the lives of their patients.
*This proposed degree program is pending action from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
