Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
At its April 23, 2020 meeting, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) approved and authorized the request from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) to create a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree with a major in Physical Therapy (51.2308.00).
The next step is to achieve accreditation. CAPTE the accreditation agency has placed our program in a review cycle that will allow us to accept the first cohort of students in summer 2025. We look forward to adding this program to our degree inventory. We will update our website as we have new information available.
