Any suggestions for PT programs that are direct entry programs?

I think you need a doctorate these days. Do you think a doctoral program would admit someone based on high school work alone? Wouldn't they want to see success in a higher level than that?

Yes you need a doctorate, yes there are several programs that admit students based on high school work alone, and no, they wouldn't. Well, that's not totally true, you do generally need to keep a specific UG GPA, pass the prereqs, etc. but if you do that your spot is guaranteed.

I'm the PP from above ^^ My daughter is in year 3 of the 6-year direct entry DPT program at Marquette and absolutely LOVES both the school and the program. She also strongly considered St. Louis University. Happy to answer any questions.

I knew a physiotherapist in Los Angeles (worked with Nicole Kidman and others on physically challenging roles for movies) who had studied at University of Delaware. Not sure that course still exists but its worth looking.
