Welcome to the homepage of the Hunter College/Graduate Center of CUNY Clinical Doctoral Program.

The Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) program is a collaboration between the Graduate Center of CUNY and Hunter College. Hunter has provided continuous education in physical therapy and other health sciences since the founding of the School of Health Sciences in the late 1960's. This school remains the only one of its kind in the entire City University of New York system.

You can obtain very detailed additional information on all aspects of our program via the links on this page or by accessing the Health Sciences Doctoral Programs website of the Graduate Center of CUNY.

If you are interested in our program, we suggest you come in for one of our informational sessions listed on the right of this page. Meanwhile, feel free to download our Physical Therapy Program Fact Sheet.  

For answers to general questions regarding tuition, dorms, post-professional DPT programs, or the passing rates on the PT licensing examination, please see our FAQs.

The DPT Program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education.  Following review of a comprehensive self-study report and an on-site visit in January 2006, we received continued accreditation through 2016. The accreditation report was extremely positive about all aspects of the program, including its faculty, administrative support, employers, alumni, and students. You can read some of the feedback on Hunter’s Physical Therapy Program by clicking on Comments & Reviews.
