UTICA, N.Y. — Utica University’s doctor of physical therapy (DPT) program has received reaccreditation for another 10 years, marking the program’s third straight reaccreditation, the college announced.
The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education conducted a comprehensive curriculum review and on-campus evaluation last fall to confirm Utica University’s program meets all necessary standards, according to a Utica University news release. Physical therapists must graduate from an accredited program in order to begin their careers.
“We are incredibly proud of the commission’s findings,” Physical Therapy Department Chair Ashraf Elazzazi said in the release. “It is rare for a DPT program to achieve reaccreditation at this level without additional requirements.”
