Core values

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program incorporates the Core Values of Professionalism as described by the American Physical Therapy Association into its curricular design. The Core Values are accountability, altruism, compassion/caring, excellence, integrity, professional duty and social responsibility.

Intimate cohorts

Our DPT cohorts are small and intimate, allowing for close, collaborative relationships between faculty and students, often leading to joint publications and professional advancement.

Hands-on experience

As integral members of the health care team, graduates impart their knowledge and skills through competent and compassionate patient care. The program includes a total of 36 weeks of clinical experiences, culminating with two 12-week clinical internships.

The DPT program at Mount Saint Mary’s University has dedicated itself to providing small class sizes in order to maximize student learning. The program also assembles teams of clinical experts in specialty areas, such as neurology, women’s health, and geriatrics, to produce some of the most well-rounded clinicians in the field.
