University of Central Florida Reviews of Doctorates in Physical Therapy

"I love my graduate program at the University of Central Florida. The Doctor of Physical Therapy program at UCF is leading the way in educating future clinicians who will be prepared to handle the vast changes arising in healthcare today. My program involves 28 weeks of cadaver lab study, research components, advanced courses in physical therapy specialties, and four different clinical rotations. Since we are part of a very large research university, my classmates and I have access to innumerable resources and great opportunities to work directly with mentors in our field."

"UCF offers high quality education. The professors are always willing to help their students and their primary goal is to see students succeed. However, I do not feel that enough scholarships or fellowships are offered to graduate students compared to undergraduate students."

"The University of Central Florida DPT program enables students to gain the knowledge they need to become competent and experienced physical therapists. UCF DPT students have maintained an 100% passing rating on their national licensure exams over the last three years. The program also shows that 100% of students gain employment within 6 months of graduation. The program offers and encourages students to participate in volunteer opportunities within the community. Students can even take their skills overseas to volunteer to help teach the importance of physical therapy. UCF DPT gives students the tools they need to help others improve their quality of life."

"PT program is demanding and time consuming, but rewarding. The faculty are easily approachable and know everyone due to the small class sizes."

"Love this program, love this school. Physical therapy degrees are expensive no mater where you go, but I know I am getting a great education and will be a great PT one day."
