Physical Therapy education is a full-time deal. There are not weekend PT school that I know of in the U.S.

Neumann College in PA is a weekend program I believe. Not 100% sure on whether it is a DPT or tDPT but check it out. It's the only one I know of.

In addition to Neumann there are 2 or 3 others. Mercy and Dominican in New York offer programs that meet Friday evenings and all day Saturday & Sunday. Nova Southeastern in Florida just started a 4 year part time program in Tampa, where you only have to go on campus 4 or 5 days per month.

Idk about "weekend" programs, but St Augustine has a flex DPT which is part time, but it won't be exclusively weekends like what you're asking for. You're still going to have to put in a lot of time.

I would recommend just calling the school. They will have all the answers you need 🙂

Neumann is a weekend only course and takes i think 2.5 or 3 years, same as some of the regular DPT prgms. I actually looked into doing that for a bit.

How in the world does this work? Weekends only? Are they in school like 7am-10pm Sat/Sun?

Are there any SPTs that attend these schools or any PTs that have graduated or know how these programs work? This is actually the first I've heard of these weekend programs (I only looked into TX, LA, some CA, and a few NE schools).

Yes, the St. Augustine San Diego campus has the flex program.

If you are considering it, then you need to contact them directly to get more information about it.
