Paul Said:

Am I doing the right thing?

We Answered:

This is what the website says

Admission Criteria:
Satisfactory completion of 90 transferable (grade of "C" or better) credits at an accredited college or university or its equivalent is required for admission to the program. These must include 15 credits taken to satisfy a major or minor (of which 9 credits must be upper division courses), 15 elective credits, and at least 60 credits in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. Specific course prerequisites include:


8 credits of Biology*
8 credits of Physics*
8 credits of Chemistry*
6 credits of Anatomy & Physiology
6 credits of Psychology including General Psychology
6 credits of English Composition, or Composition and Literature
3 credits of Mathematics (pre-calculus level)
3 credits of Statistics
42 additional credits, of which at least 12 must be in the liberal arts.

*These courses must include a laboratory and be designed for science majors. Science courses designed for liberal arts or nursing majors are not acceptable.
Other requirements for admission include:
A minimum GPA of 3.0 for all coursework in order to be considered for admission.
Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) if within five years of application for admission.
Two letters of recommendation: one from a licensed physical therapist; the other from a student's former college professor.
50 documented hours of volunteer/work service in two or more different physical therapy settings. At least 25 hours must have been spent in an in-patient setting.
Current American Red Cross Community or Professional Rescuer CPR competency certification.
Current Standard First Aid competency certification.
TOEFL test scores are required for students who did not graduate from high school or college in the USA or other English speaking country, with scores of 550 (written) or 220 (computer-based) in order to be considered for admission.


The best thing to do is to call the admissions department. I do know people who did an AAS at a CC and stayed an extra year to fufill the extra pre reqs and go directly to a PT program.
