By offering credit for coursework already completed and having web-based classes, you can update your skills and credentials on our <strong>Pomona, California Campus<\/strong>\u00a0while maintaining your current job and family commitments.<\/p>\n<p>Our Post\u2013Professional DPT program provides courses that are not part of certificate, bachelor, or master&#8217;s degree curricula. To meet the busy schedules of working therapists, the program is offered completely online. Our program fills the gap between the knowledge and skills learned in a certificate, bachelors, or master\u2019s degree program to that of today\u2019s elevated entry-level doctoral degree. This aligns to the 2020 vision set forth by the American Physical Therapy Association that by 2020, \u201cphysical therapy will be provided by physical therapists who are doctors of physical therapy, recognized by consumers and other health care professionals as the practitioners of choice to whom consumers have direct access for the diagnosis of, interventions for, and prevention of impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities related to movement, function, and health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"relative my-48 md:my-72\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"lg:flex px-12 lg:justify-center\">\n      \n      \n                  \n                  \n      <div class=\"w-full px-24 wysiwyg-content xl:w-10\/12 2xl:w-9\/12\">\n        <h2>Accreditation<\/h2>\n<p>The Doctor of Physical Therapy (Post\u2013Professional) program in the Department of Physical Therapy Education\u00a0at Western University of Health Sciences, College of Health Sciences is not accredited nor subject to accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314; telephone: 703-706-3245; email:\u00a0<a>accreditation@apta.org<\/a>; website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.capteonline.org\/\">www.capteonline.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"my-48 md:mt-96 md:mb-72\" vue-app>\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"app-gutter\">\n      <div class=\"relative md:flex md:justify-end\">\n        <div class=\"app-gutter\">\n                                  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"md:absolute md:-top-32 md:left-0 w-full md:w-5\/12 lg:w-6\/12 h-240 sm:h-320 md:h-full object-cover rounded-t-5 md:rounded-8\" src=\"\/media\/health-sciences\/images\/westernu-sunset.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 50vw, 100vw\" alt=\"the sun sets along the Esplanade at WesternU framed by the HEC and the Daumier buildings.\">\n                  <\/div>\n        <div class=\"md:w-8\/12 xl:w-7\/12 app-gutter\">\n          <div class=\"p-32 sm:p-40 md:px-0 md:py-80 rounded-b-5 md:rounded-8 bg-red\">\n            <div class=\"md:ml-1\/8 lg:ml-1\/4 xl:ml-1\/7 md:px-40 lg:px-80\">\n                              \t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"text-lockup text-lockup--red\">\n\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-h2-serif  block text-yellow\">We have a nationally <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"t-h2-sans  block text-white\">recognized program and offer<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wysiwyg-content t-p2 mt-24 text-white\">A web-based curriculum that allows you to earn a doctorate while working and keeping family commitments.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe opportunity to take a course before enrolling.
