Admission Requirements Advanced Doctoral Program (Ph.D., PT)
 
  • Selection of students for the Doctor of Philosophy program is based on prior academic performance, clinical experience, and references. We seek students who have qualities such as assertiveness, communication skills, and who are critical thinkers. Students must also be emotionally stable team players.

  • Applicants must be graduates from physical therapy schools accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). Graduates of physical therapy schools in other countries are also eligible with review of academic credentials by an appropriate agency and review of TOEFL scores.

  • Applicants must hold either an advanced or entry-level master's degree in Physical Therapy, or hold a master's degree in any discipline along with a bachelor's degree in physical therapy. Applicants who only hold an undergraduate degree in physical therapy may apply and be required to complete 15 additional credits beyond the 60 credits required from applicants holding a masters degree.

  • Applicants entering the program with an undergraduate degree are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL), is required when appropriate.

  • The Dean is empowered to evaluate the total qualifications of every student and to modify requirements in unusual circumstances.

  • Inquiries should be directed to the Program Director: Madeleine Hellman, Ed.D., MHM, PT (954)-262-1282, email: hellman@nova.edu
