Commitment to Holistic Admission
Admission
Augustana University is looking for lifelong learners who want to bring positive change to their community and the world. In order to be considered for admission into the DPT program, applicants must meet the following criteria:
Complete a baccalaureate degree with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale from a regionally accredited institution.
Complete all required prerequisite courses with a minimum grade of ‘C’ or higher in each course and a prerequisite course GPA of 3.00 or higher on a 4.00 scale.
Accreditation
Graduation from a physical therapist education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 3030 Potomac Ave., Suite 100, Alexandria, Virginia 22305-3085; phone; 703-706-3245; accreditation@apta.org is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states.
Augustana University has initiated the process to obtain accreditation for a new Doctorate of Physical Therapy program from CAPTE. The program is planning to submit an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage, on June 1, 2022. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the technical/professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in technical/professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though the achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation.
