Physical Therapy (TDPT)

Admissions Requirements

Graduation from an entry-level physical therapy (PT) program that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). Graduates from physical therapy schools in other countries are also eligible after review of academic credentials by an appropriate agency and a review of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores.

A cumulative grade point average 75%, or higher is needed from the entry-level physical therapy coursework. If the cumulative GPA is lower than a 75% GPA, applicants must take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).

Students who are within two months (60 days) of graduation from an entry-level PT program are also eligible for admission. These individuals must provide proof of graduation by the 61st day of their first D.P.T. semester or they will have to withdraw from classes until the subsequent semester.
