ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — The University of Mount Union is proud to announce that its Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, established in 2016, has earned a 10-year reaccreditation from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), effective April 30, 2024.

Mount Union’s DPT program earned its first accreditation in 2019 and its faculty, staff and students have worked relentlessly to achieve a track record of success. The Mount Union DPT program boasts an overall National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) pass rate of 98.7% with 100% of DPT program licensees having gained employment in the field within six months of graduating.

"Our PT program is proud of all the countless contributors to our Mount Union DPT story, especially those of our students and alumni,” said Dr. Sheryl Holt, associate professor and director of Mount Union’s DPT program. “We have a devoted and gifted team whose vision and work enable our program success, a team who are already aiming for the next horizon and all that we have yet to achieve. Meanwhile, we celebrate six years of graduates already making a difference in the lives of those they serve."

Mount Union is one of only six private institutions in Ohio to offer an accredited DPT Program through CAPTE and one of only four private institutions with an early assurance pathway available to its University’s undergraduate students.
