UCSF/SFSU
Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy

All of the Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy are jointly offered by the University of California, San Francisco and San Francisco State University. These graduate programs are not only integrated within the Graduate Divisions at UCSF and San Francisco State University, but the program is part of the School of Medicine at UCSF and part of the College of Health and Human Services at SFSU. Three different degree programs in physical therapy are offered in the UCSF/SFSU:

1. Master of Science in Physical Therapy (MS-DPT)
2. Doctorate in Physical Therapy (Post Professional DPT)
3. Doctorate in Physical Therapy Science (DPTSc)

The academic programs in PT are designed to prepare leaders in physical therapy:leaders in community practice, teaching and research. We aim to excite individuals about lifelong learning and commitment to the patient, the community and the profession. Our program also fosters building sensitivity and caring while developing strong questioning and critical inquiry.
