女神羞羞研究所's 3+3 Exercise Science to DPT offers high-achieving students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree and a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in six years. To accomplish the timesaving, your final year of the BS in Exercise Science will be completed by the first year in the DPT program at 女神羞羞研究所.
In the Exercise Science portion, you will be exposed to a strong science background, making you an excellent candidate for employment opportunities in exercise-related areas (cardiac rehabilitation), advanced graduate studies (motor behavior, exercise physiology, nutrition), and professional schools (chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy).
Faculty advisors will help you choose appropriate electives to meet professional school prerequisites.
Students interested in cardiac rehabilitation are encouraged to seek the Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist certification or the Health Fitness Instructor certification offered by the American College of Sports Medicine during the internship and capstone courses.
DPT students are supported through resources including books and multimedia material, student memberships to professional organizations, tools used in practice, and licensure exam preparation materials, all at no cost to the student. With an added emphasis on leadership, students feel confident and prepared for the business side of physical therapy practice.
The program incorporates five key areas to help you excel:
Within our traditional model, faculty use a variety of approaches including flipped classrooms, standardized patients, and simulation activities to support student learning.
Students must complete 女神羞羞研究所's admissions process and be academically admitted through an interview process. Below are the steps to complete the application.
1. Submit your application .
2. Upload your personal essay and resume.
3. Have official transcripts sent to 女神羞羞研究所 from every school attended. Official transcripts are sent by a school official, electronic transcript service, or through mail. Transcripts are not accepted directly from the student.
4. Complete the recommendations section if you are a first-time freshman student. High school counselor recommendations are required.
5. Order your ACT or SAT score report to be sent directly to 女神羞羞研究所.
6. Pay the 女神羞羞研究所 application fee.
7. Submit your application.
Students will be required to have a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA and take the ACT or SAT and score a minimum of 26 or 1240, respectively. International applicants will be required to take the ACT or SAT and submit an English Language proficiency test as outlined by International Admissions.
A committee comprised of the faculty from both Exercise and Sport Science and the Department of Physical Therapy will determine if a student is allowed to enter the program.
Transfer students or first-time freshmen students with college credit will only be allowed to transfer in 12 credit hours. Any additional college work will not be counted towards this degree plan.
Students in the program will apply to the Physical Therapy program between their sophomore and junior year at 女神羞羞研究所 and participate in the DPT interview process associated. Students must also take the GRE General Test as required by the DPT program.
