Undergraduate Transfer Students

Students may transfer into the program during the pre-professional phase of the curriculum. Perspective transfer students must have a minimum college Q.P.A. of at least 3.0 for all courses attempted, a composite SAT I score of 1100 or a composite ACT score of 24, and a minimum of 110 documented volunteer or paid hours to transfer into year two (sophomore) or 180 hours to transfer into year three (junior) in a physical therapy setting supervised by a licensed physical therapist. In all cases, students must have accumulated 250 paid or volunteer hours, at two separate sites, by the end of the Spring Semester of year three in order to enter the professional curriculum in year four. The length of this plan of studies varies depending on the number of credits transferred to the university, but will likely be four or five years long. Prerequisite courses (see below) must be completed by the end of year three. Students will earn Bachelors degrees at the end of year four and the DPT at the end of year six. Prerequisite Courses: Prior to entry to the professional DTP program, all students must have successfully passed the following courses with a minimum of a "C" grade:

Psychology - 3 credits
*Biostatistics/statistics - 3 credits
*Biology with labs - 8 credits
*Chemistry with labs - 8 credits
*Physics with labs - 8 credits

*These courses must be equivalent to course taken by science majors and must be taken at a four year, degree-granting institution.
