Bellarmine University Reviews of Doctorates in Physical Therapy

"Pros: great education and faculty support in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program - great library and study areas -good technology Cons: terrible dorms - financial aid for grad students is non-existent"

"Bellarmine physical therapy program is an excellent program with very brilliant faculty."

"The cost of the physical therapy program is difficult for students to deal with, leaving them with a high debt to income ratio after graduation."

"A pro of my graduate program is that there is a relatively small class size so we get to know each other and the faculty really well. Most of the staff has an open door policy so they are easily accessible either by dropping by their office or definitely by email. Each course builds on a previous course so as you go through the semesters things become more clear and start falling into place. Another great thing is that there is tons of hands on learning throughout the program. The third year alone is made up of three 12 week internships. Also, students come from all over to be in this program so there is a diverse population. A con for me in the program would be the cost. It is quite pricey at a little over $11,000 a semester. The faculty and staff recommend not working during the course of the program so that leaves most with little to no money left to live on. They are also very strict when it comes to missing class with very few things falling under the excused absence category. Aside from the cost and the program being pretty much a job, it is great! I would not trade my program for another!"

"Bellarmine has given me a great opportunity to explore my career path and helped develop my skills as a professional."
