What does SBU mean to you?
SBU changed my life.
Tips for success during graduate school at SBU:
My master's degree is from SBU! While in graduate school, I worked full-time in a
position requiring substantial traveling. Organization and communication were key
to both. One of the main reasons I wanted to work in Graduate and Worldwide Admissions
was to have a platform like this to tell everyone about the opportunities here. SBU’s
professors designed these programs with working professionals like you and me in mind.
Programs: Business, Education, and Ministry

What are your tips for college seniors applying to SBU's DPT program?
You can (and should) apply now and add your transcripts later. Meaning you do not
have to wait to apply until your prerequisite classes are finished. This includes
your GRE scores as well! The DPT application at SBU is a working document.
What can a student expect when they sign up for a DPT visit?
A visit is a perfect time to come, have conversations with faculty and students, have
all your questions answered, tour our amazing facility, and leave excited to return!
A DPT visit is not an interview. This is meant to be a fun experience!
