A Life and Health Sciences (LHS) Application can be found on-line. Fill out and submit. You will receive an e-mail confirmation within a week. Your name will then be added into the PTA database.

The LHS counselors or the PTA faculty are always available to meet with students to assure they have accurate information. If you have made any changes in name, address or telephone number, please notify Registration & Student Records.

Once you have successfully completed the prerequisites for the program, you will be contacted to confirm placement on the eligibility list. There is only one new class beginning Fall Quarter each year on the main campus and beginning Fall 2011, on the Courseview Campus.

Observation hours with a PT are no longer required as a prerequisite for admission. Once admitted, a student will be given information to be used to do observation prior to the start of the program.

The PTA 106 class is offered Fall, Winter and Spring and is open to students trying to learn about the profession. We encourage all students to take this course and it is required as a prerequisite. You can also log on to www.apta.org for additional information about the profession.

We enroll a class of 30 to the main campus and 20 students to the Courseview campus Fall quarter. Students are admitted from the eligibility list.

The answer to this question depends on individual goals and academic ability. Please research the profession at www.apta.org and make an appointment to discuss your career choices with a faculty member in the program. The PT degree is currently a three year post graduate degree, once a Bachelor's degree is completed, leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT).
