• Admissions requirements and standards are designed to ensure success in the DPT program. Selecting a candidate for the future practice of physical therapy involves many important factors, including academic background, GRE scores, and observation/work/volunteer experience.
  
  Applicants must also meet the DPT Program's Technical Standards in order to be considered for admission into the program. A qualified applicant will be invited to visit the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for a required personal interview.

  Admission to the three-year Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program requires completion of an undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree from a regionally-accredited college or university in the United States.

  The minimum specific course prerequisites and admissions requirements are listed here.

• International Applicants must complete all admissions requirements and also follow the College's policy regarding foreign coursework.
   

The College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences will be developing a GAPDP program that will be specially designed for students who have expressed an interest in pursuing a career in physical therapy and who plan to complete all of their undergraduate pre-PT coursework at Mercer's College of Liberal Arts in Macon. More information for students interested in the GAPDP will be available as soon as it is developed.
