Application Process

The Campbell University DPT program will begin accepting applications on June 16th, 2025, for those wishing to be considered for the June 2026 cohort. 

We encourage applicants to apply early in the cycle to maximize their chances for admission. Applications submitted by the priority deadline (October 1, 2025) will receive full consideration for admission. These applicants will be among the first reviewed, and decisions will be made on a rolling basis. Applications received after the priority deadline but before the final deadline (March 2, 2026) will still be reviewed; however, admissions decisions will be made as space permits in the program.

Goals of the Admissions Process

The DPT program is committed to selecting applicants who have demonstrated academic success and strong critical thinking skills. In order to be an asset to the physical therapy profession, candidates should also possess integrity, compassion, empathy, flexibility, and the ability to multitask. The goals of the admissions process are:

  • To understand each applicant as a whole person
  • To evaluate the applicant’s potential for success in the DPT program
  • To assess the candidate’s commitment and aptitude as a future practicing physical therapist

Once a complete application is submitted it will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Qualified candidates will be invited to interview. Interviews are conducted virtually and on a rolling basis.
