Because it requires a strong foundation in the liberal arts, the Master's Program in Physical Therapy at the University of Mary extends a student's undergraduate study. It is important to note, however, that Physical Therapy is not an undergraduate major.
Students enter the major only after admission to the professional program.
Entry into the 26 month graduate program requires a special application and selection process. If candidates hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, they must have completed all core requirements to the program. If candidates do not hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, in addition to the core requirements, they must have earned sufficient credits of undergraduate study to be able to meet all University of Mary Bachelor of University Studies requirements upon completion of the 400 level physical therapy curriculum. No more than 64 of the 92 credits may be transferred from a two-year institution. Applications for the Physical Therapy Master's Track are currently being accepted until class begins in August .
