<p>Hello</p>
<p>Can anyone direct me to a website that lists all of the colleges that offer a 6 year program for physical therapy. This would be a direct admission as a freshman into the college and then in 6 years one would graduate with a doctorate in physical therapy. I know that Marquette has a similar program, but I am having trouble finding other schools. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Look under the national organization web site. I believe Saint Louis University has one as well, my D was accepted into it but then was not sure and pursued a different degree. Good luck.It is a great field and there is a shortage in many areas of the country</p>
<p>Ithaca College.</p>
<p>Pretty sure.</p>
<p>I didn't think SLU had one, but the University of Evansville does.</p>
<p>Quinnipiac University</p>
<p>U of Miami but only if you are accepted into/meet their honors program requirements.</p>
<p>D says check out DYC, BU, Stern College, Sage, Husson, Hawaii, USP. There are still some 5-yr programs leading to a masters degree, but many of the masters programs are morphing into the DPT.</p>
<p>Villanova, I believe</p>
<p>thanks sunnyflorida and everyone else.
Does your D know of any solid programs on the west coast?</p>
<p>any others?</p>
<p>"In the Entry-Level DPT program at Northeastern University, you will be accepted directly into the Physical Therapy program as a freshman, so you can start taking related courses during your first semester. The Physical Therapy program at Northeastern will prepare you to to work as a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) in a variety of clinical settings."</p>
<p>Check out Simmons in Boston - if this question is for a female!</p>
<p>Take a look at apta.org This is the website for the American Physical Therapy Association and you will find all accredited programs. The entry level degree for a physical therapist is now a doctoral degree (DPT or Ph.D).
It's an interesting journey and a rewarding profession.</p>
<p>Tim-we are on the east coast, and D is just not looking west. Sorry. The apta sight does not list specific 6 yr accelerated programs, you have to ferret those out. Try googling for "physical therapy 6 year accelerated degree programs" and see what you can find.</p>
<p>ps check U of the Pacific</p>
<p>And University of New England:</p>
