The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist education program from CAPTE. On November 22, 2021, the program submitted an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved.. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation. ¹

Transfer Students

The DPT program will consider candidates for transfer on a case-by-case basis with Admissions decisions and conditions of transfer made by the Admissions Committee. If you are requesting transfer from another DPT program, you should contact the Program Director and be prepared to provide:

1. A cover letter stating reasons for transfer;

2. A copy of transcripts from all institutions attended;

3. A copy of GRE scores from the most recently taken GRE;

4. A copy of TOEFL scores if required.

You may not transfer in more than one year equivalent of course credits (no more than 45 credits). This may require you to repeat coursework that has already been successfully completed on another campus. If you are admitted through transfer, you will develop an individualized plan of study approved by the Admissions Committee prior to matriculating into the DPT program.
