School For Physical Therapy

Claire Said:

I heard my cousin saying that in some school physical Therapy is only for 4 yrs. Anyone know any 4 year schoo?

We Answered:

Since 2002, all 4 year BS programs were stopped and were all converted to either Master's or Doctorate level program. Since then, nearly all programs have since converted to the doctorate. The soonest you can do it is 6 or 6.5 years in an accelerated "direct admit" program.

Ross Said:

Will the physical therapy grad school that you intend greatly impact the salary of my first job?

We Answered:

I agree with Mary. I would be more impressed with your clinical work. The begs to question what clinical sites the schools offer...a good question to ask (although it may vary from year to year).

Myself, I went to a state school of menial reputation, but over the past few years, we've been able to offer students placement at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and Rancho Los Amigos...some of the most pristegous sites in the country.

In the end, you all take the same test.

Consider this also...you can spend $30,000 a year going to grad school and spend $90,000 total and not have any money to continue your eduction afterwards for advanced certifications. Or you can spend about $40,000 total on grad school and then go on to complete some more pristegeous certifications such as a fellowship in manual therapy...something MUCH more likely to get you a higher paying job.

Discuss It!
