Can anyone provide a list of MPT programs still around? Unsuccessful in searching. I am not looking to discuss pros and cons of MPT & DPT.

Some of the CSU universities are trying to switch over to dPT for the fall as well as PR. Not sure if they were accredited for it or not?
 
Mhmm. A little research can go a long way haha. But, yes. The current MPT programs are transitioning to DPT to be in accordance with Vision 2020. Some of those schools will start the DPT program this Fall, e.g. CSU Sacramento, although their current students will still be completing the MPT. If you plan on applying to enter the Fall 2013 year, then I would recheck those programs to see if they still offer the MPT for the incoming class of Fall 2013...
 
CSU Northridge plans to have their first DPT class start in the Fall of 2012, they are just waiting for a few things for final approval. Sacramento's Fall 2012 class will be a DPT program. Long beach and Fresno will follow shortly after. A bill was signed by the governor in CA that the programs MUST offer the DPT by 2015.
 
Just out of curiosity, why are you looking for MPT and not looking into a DPT??

This makes it sound like you are looking into finding an MPT program, not a DPT program. That's why I asked if you were looking into an MPT rather than a DPT.
