Switching to Physical Therapy?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northeastern University

<p>I was accepted EA into the College of Business Administration and I'm considering a switch to Bouve, particularly for the PT program. So I've got a few questions..</p>

<p>Would I even be able to switch? I hear the PT program is one of the harder programs at NEU to get into and </p>

<p>How is it? I know it's a 6 year program but what would I be doing over those six years and how are the career opportunities coming out of college?</p>

<p>What would I be paying tuition wise? Would it be the regular flat tuition over 6 years or do they adjust it?</p>

<p>I'm also considering Athletic Training as a second option, so any information about that would be appreciated.</p>

<p>bump..</p>

<p>Anyone? How difficult is it to switch to a different college? (CBA to Bouve)</p>

<p>people switch majors all the time in college, so its not uncommon. i suggest you email the admissions person letting him/her know that you've changed your mind on what you would like to major in, and ask her what steps you need to take/what needs to be done, to have this switch made. </p>

<p>i don't think it should be a problem, just contact them and let them know</p>

<p>I'm not sure about PT, but in the 6-yr pharmD program, you pay full tuition for five academic years (10 semesters) and about 1/2 tuition for the 2 semesters of the 6th year where you do the advanced practice experience. (There is no tuition during the three co-op periods that occur between the second and sixth year.)</p>

<p>Thanks for the help. I sent them an email, and I'll call them soon.</p>

<p>Anyone know how the workload is compared to that of a business major? Obviously there is extra work because of the summer courses, but</p>
