Steps for Application

The following procedures should be followed closely when applying to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program at the University of Delaware. Failure to do so could result in your application being delayed or determined incomplete. Applications cannot be evaluated until all components have been verified by PTCAS (which can take 4-6 weeks) and mailed to the University of Delaware. Submission of all components is the responsibility of the applicant.

We suggest that prospective students review the Technical Performance Standards found in Section 6 of the UD Department of Physical Therapy Program Policy Document prior to submitting their application.
