The application process will be directly to the program and not through PTCAS. Harding students will fill out an application, write an essay on a selected topic and undergo an interview with a member of the PT faculty. Students may contact pt@harding.edu for more details on how to apply to this program.
If the student is granted provisional admission, he or she may transition full-time into the graduate portion of the PT program when the following conditions have been met:
- Completion of all required liberal arts course requirements
- Overall GPA 3.5
- Science GPA of 3.3
- Completion of 101 hours of undergraduate credit
- GRE of at least 145 on both the verbal and quantitative sections
Students who are provisionally admitted must maintain a 3.0 GPA in the first two semesters of PT education to gain full admission into the program
If the student is not accepted, they will continue with their degree in Exercise Science and are eligible to apply through the normal process with PTCAS.
After completing the first year of the DPT program, students will be awarded a Bachelor’s degree. If the student is unsuccessful in the DPT program, they can transfer back to the Exercise Science program to complete an undergraduate degree.
