Program Description
The D.P.T. is the entry-level degree for the practice of physical therapy. The curriculum associated with the degree prepares graduates for physical therapy practice while paying particular to the health and rehabilitation concerns of residents of the Delta region. Licensure to practice physical therapy is granted by the individual states and issued on scores obtained on the National Licensing Examination administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy. Graduation from an accredited educational program is a prerequisite to sit for the licensing exam. The D.P.T. program at ASU is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education.

Admission Requirements
Admissions requirements include an earned bachelor's degree in a related field, acceptance to ASU, Graduate School and satisfactory completion of pre-requisite courses. Completing admission requirements does not ensure acceptance into the DPT program as students are admitted on a competitive space-available basis.

Application Deadline
Application deadline is February 1st each year. Students may acquire detailed information about the application process and pre-requisite courses by contacting the Department of Physical Therapy at 870-972-3591 or visiting the department's website at http://www.astate.edu/conhp/pt.
