This directory highlights currently verifiable physical therapy and physiotherapy programs, organized by country and, for the United States, by state. The goal is accuracy over exhaustiveness, so older or difficult-to-verify listings have been removed.
Please verify details before applying. Program names, accreditation status, and admission requirements can change. For U.S. schools, confirm accreditation through CAPTE. For Canadian schools, confirm details through current Canadian physiotherapy education and accreditation sources. For other countries, confirm details with the school and, where applicable, World Physiotherapy.
How this page is maintained
- U.S. professional-entry physical therapist programs should be checked against the CAPTE directory or CAPTE master list.
- Canadian schools are based on current national physiotherapy education and accreditation listings.
- International schools on this page are limited to programs that are currently verifiable through World Physiotherapy accreditation listings or a current university page.
- Where a current official school/program page could not be confidently verified, the link points to the accreditation source instead.
