Physical therapy

Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) will welcome its first cohort of doctoral students this coming summer. The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) approved Oregon Tech to admit students for the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, which is offered jointly with Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).

Beginning July 31, Marc Campolo, Ph.D., is joining Oregon Tech/OHSU as director of the upcoming Doctor of Physical Therapy program, which is the first doctoral degree for Oregon Tech.

Providing immediate investment in the initiative, Sky Lakes recently announced a generous gift of $200,000 to Oregon Tech in support of the DPT program. Approval by HECC allows the university to apply for approval from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities and accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education
