No, formally accredited specialization in a particular field of physical therapy occurs after graduation, not before. In accordance with national standards, Ohio State's DPT program is a general degree that covers all basic aspects of physical therapy. We do, however, offer opportunities for students to pursue extra coursework in training in areas of interest. Although a specialty is not offered, there are opportunities for Graduate Interdisciplinary Specializations, as well as opportunities for emphasis through choices of electives, supplemental coursework, clinical affiliations and scholarly projects. We also offer a joint DPT/PhD program. Though these are not available until the PT degree is earned, the quality of our faculty and clinics is indicated by our advanced post-professional training programs. We are partners with five clinical residency programs in physical therapy, and a sixth is about to begin. We also have three current fellowship programs for specialization beyond residency. No program has more. For the prospective student, there should be no doubt that the opportunity to go above and beyond is always available at Ohio State, and we have the expertise to guide you.
