To be admitted as a freshman
requires a minimum Q.P.A. of 3.0, a composite
SAT I score of 1100 or a composite ACT score of
24, a minimum of seven units of math and science,
evidence of extracurricular activities during
high school and a minimum of 40 documented volunteer
or paid hours in a physical therapy setting supervised
by a licensed physical therapist at the time of
application.
In addition, students are required to have participated in another 210 hours before April of their third academice year. These experiences must be in at least two different physical therapy settings such as outpatient, acute care, inpatient (hospital), pediatric, skilled nursing facility, and rehabilitation centers. The purpose of expecting the student to particpate in a variety of physical therapy practice settings for a total of 250 hours is to assure the student is well acclimated to the physical therapy profession prior to the beginning of the professinal phase. Students should be aware when scheduling volunteer and work experiences that these locations may not be used for clinical education.
Students who meet all
academic and program requirements during the pre-professional
phase (including ethical and professional attitude
and behavior) will be admitted to the professional
phase of the program. This plan of study is
six years in length with students earning two
Bachelors degrees at the end of year four, BS
in Biological Sciences and BS in Health Sciences,
and the DPT at the end of year six.
