Augustana University will offer a major in strength & 调节 beginning in the fall. Based within the School of 健康 Professions, the program is set to be the first in South Dakota accredited by the Council on Accreditation of 强度 and 调节 Education (CASCE).

The Augustana University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program — the university’s first doctorate program — welcomed its inaugural cohort in June and exceeded its enrollment goal by five students. The DPT program enrolled 85 students into the Class of 2025, and an additional six chose to defer to the cohort beginning in 2024.

Augustana University is excited to announce that its Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program has achieved ”candidate for accreditation” status from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
