General Information

Physical Therapy education exists on two distinct levels:  entry-level education is designed to educate individuals to become physical therapists; post-professional education is designed to further enhance the knowledge and skills of practicing physical therapists.

The Doctor of Physical Therapy consortial arrangement among North Georgia College & State University, Armstrong Atlantic State University, and Medical College of Georgia is currently undergoing a dissolution.  Application processes for the classes entering in 2010 will be handled separately at the individual institutions.  Applicants should contact each institution for admissions and accreditation information.
 
The three-year professional program includes clinical education (36 weeks) and research.   General information on physical therapy as a professional career may be obtained from the American Physical Therapy Association.
