Honors Program in Physical Therapy
Honors Program in Physical Therapy (HPPT)
The Honors Program in Physical Therapy (HPPT) is offered to high school graduates with high academic ability seeking careers in physical therapy. Students may earn both the Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) and the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degrees in a six-year accelerated program, rather than the customary seven years.
HPPT is a cooperative venture of the School of Nursing and Health Studies and the Miller School of Medicine, with students majoring in Health Sciences. Students pursue an enriched and highly challenging undergraduate curriculum, secure in the knowledge they will have a place in the graduate physical therapy program after successful completion of three years of pre-physical therapy curriculum.
To be considered students must:
| be in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class | ||
| have a minimum SAT1 score of 1360 or an ACT score of 31 and an unweighted GPA of 3.75 | ||
| complete a supplemental HPPT application by November 1 of their senior year |
