This is an important exam. Prepare for it very carefully and take it seriously. The GRE web site offers registration information, sample questions and access to paper and software study guides. Registration booklets are available in the Preprofessional Advising Office. Relatively few programs still award the bachelor's degree.
Most accredited programs are now at the master's or doctoral level.
The Directory of Physical Therapy Programs , updated each spring, can help you to determine the prerequisites, selection factors, matriculant profile and application procedures for all accredited physical therapy schools. To be sure that you are able to satisfy all your requirements for graduation, have your course work checked by the College of Arts and Sciences early in your final year. If you are applying to Ohio University's School of Physical Therapy and are either expecting to have earned your bachelor's degree by the time you would enter or are pursuing the degree in absentia option, you must submit a signed plan for completing your course work. As a rule, your GPA, GRE scores, writing and interpersonal skills and letters of recommendation will be important factors in a school's decision to admit you. A number of graduate physical therapy programs require a full year of physics as well as computer literacy, so consider taking Physics 203 and Computer Science 120.
