It is recommended that students obtain information from physical therapy programs for their specific admission requirements, as variations exist in the prerequisites of physical therapy schools. Most schools require a bachelor’s degree in addition to specific courses, and many schools require observation hours as well as the GRE. In order to be competitive, and apply to physical therapy schools, a GPA of 3.4 or higher is recommended.
Pre-physical therapy students are encouraged to consult on a regular basis with WAU’s pre-physical therapy coordinators.
The following courses are partial requirements for admission to most physical therapy schools and require a minimum grade of “B” to be competitive.
