Physical Therapy Doctorate Programs

Nicholas Said:

Direct admission to Physical therapy program? How does it work?

We Answered:

Go to : http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?sect…

Any school listed as an A2 has the direct admit option. In this option, you apply to the program as a freshman. You complete your undergraduate work as normal (although sometimes it only takes three years instead of four to do the prereqs) and do not have to reapply to the program when you are ready for the professional phase. The only major requirement is that you maintain your GPA at or above a certain standard.

Don Said:

What BA degree do you need in order to be accepted into the physical therapy doctorate program?

We Answered:

i am seriously considering becoming a PT.
i will be a senior in high school next year but have done much research. (including a 6 page english paper on a career in PT)
to get accepted into a PT doctorate program you basically need the pre-requisites. and you can major in almost anything. as long as you get those.
every college is different some even offer a Pre-physical therapy program. but the most common BA degrees are biology, health science, and pre-med.
have you looked at apta.com it gives all the info you need. including the pre-requisites needed for graduate school. so as long as you get those done then it doesnt matter what you get your BA in.
good luck :)
