ABOUT DPT BUSINESS SCHOOL
DPT Business School was founded in 1987. At that time, the main focus was to train and place graduates as mainframe programmers, a technological discipline which was high in demand. The curriculum was designed to integrate technical theory with hands on training and to produce well rounded graduates ready for the complexities of the modern, auto-mated workplaces.
The philosophy behind the training was to motivate students personally and professionally in addition to providing information and technical skills. This training methodology was so successful that DPT graduates were soon the recognized standard of excellence for many of the top companies hiring in these industries. Since that time, DPT has grown enormously in size and scope.
DPT offers a full range of diploma programs, at three facilities located in Northeast Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The individual campuses are housed in comfortable settings that include lecture areas, computer labs (with course required hardware and software), and language labs for English as a Second Language instruction.
