Bachelor of Science in Nursing Continuing to Doctor of Physical Therapy

The BSN to DPT Curriculum enables highly motivated students to achieve a BSN degree while they are completing Pre-Physical Therapy Requirements. Students are advised to declare a nursing and pre-PT major during their freshman year in order to receive important communication from the Department of Nursing and from the DPT Program.
