The DSc in PT program is completely online. Because of this, the U.S. government does not allow É«×ۺϾþà University to offer an F-1 student visa for entry to the United States in order to study in this program. International students living outside of the U.S. are also unable to participate remotely in this program.
Prospective students living in the U.S. on different visa types may qualify on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the enrollment counselor for the DSc in PT to determine eligibility.
