U.S. News & World Report ranked Marshall University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) No. 93 in the nation in its 2025 rankings, placing the program in the top 36% of all physical therapy programs in the United States.

This ranking reflects the continued dedication and excellence of the program’s faculty, staff and students.

“This ranking is an incredible milestone for our program, considering we began in 2012,” said Dr. Scott Davis, the program’s director. “We are so proud to be leading the way in physical therapy in our region through high-quality education and hands-on clinical training.”

Marshall’s DPT program also ranks No. 24 nationally in first-time National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) pass rates in 2023-2024, the highest in West Virginia.
