The graduate phase is usually 3 years. This is usually preceeded by 3-4 years of undergraduate work and usually requires a bachelor’s degree prior to the graduate phase. In your undergraduate years, you must complete your general education and major credits (in a major of your choice) as well as the prerequisite courses. This usually involves at least a year each of general biology, chemistry, and physics. Math, psych and anatomy and physiology are also usually required.
In total, most PT programs are designed to result in about 6-7 years of college education.
