Overview
Education
Students in the combined degree program can earn both the DPT and MPH degrees in three years.
The Physical Therapy and Public Health program at Northwestern University is designed for students desiring to:
- Be high-quality, public health-oriented practitioners for people and communities with potential or existing movement dysfunction
- Contribute to the knowledge base in population health through nationally recognized research
- Drive efforts to improve population health and reduce health disparities.
Students in the Dual DPT/MPH degree program complete coursework and clinical requirements to satisfy the requirements for each degree. DPT courses are scheduled during the day while MPH courses are offered in the evenings.
Students begin MPH coursework the summer before matriculation into the DPT program and then take one or two MPH courses each term along with the regular DPT courseload.
The required professional experiences for each degree coordinate so that MPH field and culminating experiences coincide and complement DPT clinical education and the synthesis research project.
