program is addressing a regional need. Rural communities face health problems that include addressing the needs of an older population who have access barriers tied to geography. That\u2019s why our program is focused on developing intervention strategies that are innovative and include training in technology augmented rehabilitation and tele-rehabilitation. Our priority as stated in our needs assessment is on improving access, and graduates of this program will be able to apply these skills to meet the needs many communities. Living and learning in a rural community teaches problem-solving that is directly applied to practice challenges faced in many environments.<\/div><div class=\"acc-intro-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/02\/cps-health-dpt-NeedsAssessment.pdf\">Needs Assessment<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"card-container img16x9 cardshadow col-small-one col-medium-two col-large-two col-xlarge-four col-xxlarge-four\">\n<div class=\"uwsp-trad-card\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-38-community.jpg)\"><div class=\"card-image-holder\"><div class=\"card-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Group of UWSP physical therapy students pose under a branded canopy at a community event.\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-38-community.jpg)\"><\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-microtitle\"><\/h5><h3 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-title\">Vision<\/h3><h4 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-subtitle\"><\/h4><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-text\">Our vision is to transform societal health through physical therapy education by creating professionals who collaborate to serve the evolving, diverse needs of our communities.<\/div><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-button-container\">\n<a class=\"uwspbtn uwsp-btn-solid-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/doctor-of-physical-therapy\/vision-values-goals\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More <i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwsp-trad-card\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-13-class.jpg)\"><div class=\"card-image-holder\"><div class=\"card-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Students attend a lecture in a classroom with laptops at their desks.\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-13-class.jpg)\"><\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-microtitle\"><\/h5><h3 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-title\">Core Values<\/h3><h4 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-subtitle\"><\/h4><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-text\">In order to demonstrate excellence and professionalism in all aspects of the UWSP Doctor of Physical Therapy program we developed core values statements.<\/div><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-button-container\">\n<a class=\"uwspbtn uwsp-btn-solid-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/doctor-of-physical-therapy\/vision-values-goals\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More <i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwsp-trad-card\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-12-first-cohort.jpg)\"><div class=\"card-image-holder\"><div class=\"card-image\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Large group of students stands outdoors in front of a historic campus building.\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-12-first-cohort.jpg)\"><\/div><\/div><h5 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-microtitle\"><\/h5><h3 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-title\">Program Goals<\/h3><h4 class=\"uwsp-trad-card-subtitle\"><\/h4><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-text\">Our three program goals will help us execute our vision of transforming societal health by meeting the needs of our communities.<\/div><div class=\"uwsp-trad-card-button-container\">\n<a class=\"uwspbtn uwsp-btn-solid-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/doctor-of-physical-therapy\/vision-values-goals\/\" target=\"_self\">Read More <i class=\"fa-solid fa-circle-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"tuition\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\">Tuition and Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwsp-accordion blockspacetop blockspacebottom\"><div class=\"accordion\" id=\"\"><div class=\"card-intro\" style=\"text-align:center\"><p>The UW-Stevens Point Doctor of Physical Therapy program was designed using what is called service-based pricing. In this model students are charged a flat fee per credit of $560.00, instead of tuition.\n\nService-based pricing has several benefits. One of the benefits is that students are charged the same fee per credit whether an in-state or out-of-state resident. Another benefit is that the fees return to the program, allowing the DPT program to provide an excellent educational experience and control costs. \n\nAs everyone is aware student debt load has become a serious issue, service-based pricing allows the UWSP DPT program to be a good return on investment for graduate students looking to become a doctor of physical therapy. <\/p><\/div><div class=\"panelcontainer nofirst\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-create-block-uwsp-accordion-section\"><summary class=\"accordion-heading\">Financial Fact Sheet<\/summary><div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwsp.edu\/school-of-health-sciences-and-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2025\/11\/CPS-Health-DPT-FinancialFactSheet.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"524\">Financial Fact Sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-create-block-uwsp-accordion-section\"><summary class=\"accordion-heading\">Additional Financial Information: Accepted Students<\/summary><div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>Beginning 2024, the current fee structure if $560.00 per credit.
