For the past five years, students in Franklin Pierce’s DPT program at Goodyear have had a 100% pass rate in the National Physical Therapy Licensure Exam. This program takes two-and-a-half-years to complete, which includes full-time clinical work for 38 weeks. 学生 complete their clinicals in Goodyear or in surrounding towns and cities, such as Phoenix. 学生 in the program have a 100% 就业 rate within 6 months of earning their license. This program is CAPTE-accredited, which is required for taking the licensing exam.

学生 also have the opportunity to engage in a part-time work-study. 除了 to the work-study, there are also graduate research positions available throughout the year for second-year students. These opportunities ensure that students have a source of income while completing their degree. After graduation, students go on to work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing and assisted living homes, private homes, and sports and wellness facilities.
