3+3 Accelearated Pre-Baccalaureate Admission Option
PROGRAM
The Temple University 3+3 Baccalaureate/Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program provides outstanding students admission to the Temple University DPT program prior to the completion of an undergraduate degree.
While applicants to the DPT program typically complete an undergraduate major in the life sciences, health professions, social sciences, humanities, the arts, or any of Temple's other undergraduate programs, a select number of undergraduate departments at Temple University have joined with the Department of Physical Therapy to provide a 3+3 Accelerated Pre-baccalaureate Admissions Option. The 3 + 3 Accelerated Pre-baccalaureate Admissions option enables select applicants to apply to the DPT program during their junior year of their undergraduate studies and thereby enable the students to receive both their undergraduate degree and a DPT graduate degree in six years rather than seven years, provided they comply with Temple University academic requirements and all entrance requirements of the Department of Physical Therapy.
