It is with excitement that we announce the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Pittsburgh is ranked #1 in the nation according to the newly released 2016 rankings of U.S. News & World Report’s Best Graduate Programs in Physical Therapy. Pitt shares the 1st place recognition with 3 other institutions – University of Delaware, University of Southern California, and Washington University in St. Louis. For the past 10 years the Pitt PT program has been ranked among the top 3 PT programs in the country. Since its founding in the 1930’s, the Physical Therapy education program at Pitt has continued to be a leader in education, research, leadership and innovation. The DPT program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), and recently received ‘re-accreditation with commendation’ through 2025.
We are grateful to be learning from our incredible faculty and staff members, who continue to uphold and build upon Pitt PT’s reputation as a physical therapy program, and to those alumni who carry that reputation out into their practices. Hail to Pitt!
