Requirements
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.
