Important Information for All Applicants
- All applications must be submitted through the Physical Therapy Centralized Application Service (PTCAS).
- All transcripts, including World Education Service transcript evaluations, must be submitted directly to PTCAS.
- After an application has been submitted and verified by PTCAS, the applicant will receive an email from the Duke DPT Admissions Office with instructions on how to pay the $50 application fee.
Key Dates
- Application opens: July 1
- Standard deadline: October 15
What to Expect
- After an application has been submitted, it can take four to five weeks for PTCAS to verify the application.
- It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that their application gets verified by PTCAS. The application will not be considered “received” by the Duke DPT Admissions Committee until it has been verified by PTCAS.
- Duke DPT operates under a rolling admissions process, meaning we begin reviewing applications when the cycle opens and our admissions cycle is not closed until the class is full.
- We recommend you apply as early as possible.
