In this table, the three years in the DPT Program are mapped out. In the first year, students spend their first two semesters in class, and over the summer, take what they have learned in the classroom into their first clinical experience. In their second year, students spend a semester in class, a semester on clinical, another semester in class, and another semester on clinical. In their final year, students come back for a remaining 10 weeks of classes and complete two 12-week clinical experiences.
