When to apply: Fall of DPT5 year

Admissions requirements

Students must be currently enrolled in the MUPT program and have a GPA of 3.00 or higher to be considered eligible to apply. Research experience highly recommended.

More information about the program, faculty, and coursework can be found on the program page on the Graduate School website.

 

Earlier the better!  ADP students will need to take certain courses during their senior year to be counted for graduate credit, so having a detailed class schedule is extremely beneficial.

Most programs do not require the GRE. For those programs that require it, they may offer a test waiver depending on an applicants GPA.

Each ADP program is a little different.  Each program has set a minimum GPA requirement that a student must meet to be considered for eligibility. Click on your program (under the Find Your Program tab) to see the requirements.

Students should apply for admissions to graduate school the semester after they graduate with their bachelors degree, not the semester they begin taking classes for graduate credit.

Example: A student in their Junior year in the fall of 2023 will apply for admission to graduate school for the fall 2025.

No, ADP students usually are not granted graduate assistant/teaching assistant positions.  This is because GA positions are usually 2 year positions, and departments prefer to train a student to have them for 2 years.

• Students continue to pay the undergraduate tuition rate until they have graduated with their bachelor's degree (see link under tuition for cost per credit break down).
• Private scholarships may also be available.
• U.S. citizens and permanent residents may be eligible to apply for need-based federal aid (loans) to help fund their educational expenses as well.
