<p>Are you looking for a combined program that offers a DPT? UB and Stony Brook are the only SUNY’s that offer this afaik. UB has a 6 year program (3 years of Exercise Science and then 3 years in the DPT program). Here’s a link:</p>

<p>[SPHHP:</a> Department of Rehabilitation Science: Doctor of Physical Therapy: Prerequisites](<a href=“Rehabilitation Science - University at Buffalo”>Rehabilitation Science - University at Buffalo)</p>

<p>I think that Cortland offers several pre-PT appropriate majors, has an agreement with Upstate Medical for the grad portion, and would be a good choice for a smaller undergrad school. You can really go to any school for undergrad and apply to grad programs later.</p>

<p>yes i am . or any other good pre physical programs even if they don’t offer a combined program. thank you sk8r that was very helpful</p>

<p>Geneseo also has a 3/3 Cooperative Program with SUNY Upstate Medical University. The program allows you to earn a DPT Degree in 6 years, rather than the typical 7 years. After 3 years of study as a Biology major at Geneseo, you transfer to Upstate for 3 years. Upon completion of one year of studies at Upstate, Geneseo awards you a BA Degree in Biology, and upon completion of 3 years at Upstate, you are awarded the DPT Degree.</p>

<p>That pairing with Upstate is not unique to Geneseo, they have made agreements with Brockport, ESF, Oneonta, Oswego, Lemoyne and SU as well. Basically, you would have to be apply and be accepted to both the undergrad school and Upstate now and then maintain at least a 3.3 gpa overall and in your pre-reqs in order to keep the early assurance guarantee. This is what Upstate requires to be “considered”…with limted space and agreements with so many schools in place, I have to wonder what the admitted student profile actually looks like:</p>

<p>I have some experience with early assurance programs in competive fields. My advice would be to choose a school which offers you the best guaranteed entry option (and the best chance of maintaining the required gpa) and that has other majors you’d be interested in if you change your mind. Lots of kids start in the pre-professional track and discover their true interests lie in another field. It’s much simpler to change majors than to go through the whole selection/application process again!</p>
