Post Professional DPT degree for graduates of our BS and MPT curriculum

At this time, we are not offering a post-professional DPT degree in conjunction with the Graduate Center of CUNY.

Agreements are being developed with various post-professional (transitional) DPT programs to assist our graduates in meeting the needs of the physical therapy profession and for graduate physical therapists who wish to upgrade to the DPT Degree. The following agreements are presently available:

1. An articulation has been established with Des Moines University (DMU) whereby graduates of our MPT program who meet their admission requirements

• will have the DMU application fee waived,
• will have the DMU PPDT 1608 (Clinical Medicine) course waived, and
  
• will have the DMU PPDT 1605 (Clinical Imaging & Pharmacology) course waived.
  

Students will then be required to complete the remaining 18 credits to earn a degree from DMU.

2.  An agreement has been established with Stony Brook University's on-site evening and weekend program whereby graduates of our MPT program who meet their admission requirements

• will have the SBU HAY 529 (Principles in Pharmacology) course waived,
  
• will have the SBU HAY 530 (Differential Diagnosis) course waived, and
  
• will have the SBU HAY 551 (Research Design) course waived.
  

Students will then be required to complete the remaining 20 credits (5 core courses and 3 elective courses) to earn a degree from SBU.

The National Physical Therapy Examination

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy is the organization that produces and distributes the licensing examination for all Physical Therapists. Information about the content of the exam is provided in booklets distributed each year to students in the final year of the program when the application forms for the exam and New York State licensure applications are distributed. You can also obtain information about the content of the exam, purchase a sample review copy of the exam, and review other information about the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy on their web site.

New York State Education Department

Physical Therapist Licensing Application Forms are available on the New York State Education Department, Office of the Professions website. Some forms (for example, Form 2) must be completed and returned to Dr. Krasilovsky before graduation.

Instructions for Applying for the Licensure Examination in New York State

All forms and instructions are distributed to students in the Fall semester of their last year. Some aspects of registering for the licensing examination must be done online. A summary page of the process can be downloaded here.
