Doctorate level degrees include an entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy degree (DPT) for those who want to become a physical therapist and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Human Movement Science.

Admission to any program offered by the School of Health Sciences may be considered on a competitive basis, if the balance between applicants and available instructional resources requires such action to maintain the academic integrity of the program.
