What are the minimum requirements for admission to the Doctor of Physical Therapy program?
Admission to the Doctor of Physical Therapy program is competitive. There are very specific requirements for admission to the physical therapy program. Each student must have a minimum of 90 credit hours when they enroll in the physical therapy program, including specific course pre-requisites primarily in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and psychology. Pre-requisite science courses must be completed by the Fall Term prior to application to the program. A minimum of a 3.00 GPA (4 point scale) is required in the science pre-requisite courses and all pre-requisite courses. Qualified applicants are invited for an interview which consists of both a written and oral interview. Each applicant submits two letters of recommendation, a resume and a personal statement. Members of the Physical Therapy Admissions Committee reviews all qualified applications.
