    Re: Need Help Selecting Unis in USA for MPT

    I went to Florida State University in Tallahassee, and I had a friend who got her PT degree from FAMU uni. I know that it is a good program, however the university is a bit "ghetto".

    Try looking into South Florida Uni, I know they have a very good program too.

    You do know that they require a ton of pre requisites in order to be accepted and you also have to take the GRE with a min score of 1000 and have a GPA of above 3.0.

    Hope I could help. Best of luck

    Re: Need Help Selecting Unis in USA for MPT

    Here is a list of PT programs that use the PTCAS application process. If you click on the school it will tell you whether or not they run a masters or doctorate program. There are other universities not using the PTCAS application as well.
    www.ptcas.org/DirectoryByState.html

    Masters or Doctorate?
    The masters programs are being phased out in the U.S. Soon all PTs will need a doctorate to practice in the US, and I anticipate this will make it more difficult for visiting physiotherapists to find work. If you have a choice, I'd recommend the doctorate. The programs are virtually the same with the exception of a few more units in the doctoral programs.
