Are DPT graduates paid more than BSPT or MPT graduates?
The transition to postbaccalaureate professional (entry-level) education gave rise to the fear that a practitioner with a professional master’s degree would be paid more than one with a baccalaureate degree. In retrospect, it appears that those fears were unfounded. Although there may be instances where a DPT graduate is paid more than a BSPT or MPT graduate, there are no data to support a correlation between the DPT and higher levels of compensation. Data collected in the future may or may not demonstrate such a correlation.
