Idaho State University Doctor of Physical Therapy (BA/DPT)
The College of Idaho cooperative program in physical therapy is an undergraduate-graduate articulation agreement with Idaho State University (ISU). Students will complete all of the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree at The College of Idaho, including the prerequisites for entrance into the Idaho State University Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. Students who complete the College of Idaho portion of this program will receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College in the major they have completed. Upon completion of the Idaho State University portion of the program, students will receive a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Idaho State University.
Entrance into the Idaho State University program is competitive. Idaho State University has offered up to two admission seats to College of Idaho students each year, but it is possible that more than two College of Idaho students will apply. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in all areas of the prerequisite courses, as well as in the most recent 60 semester credits of completed coursework, and must apply for the Idaho State University program by January of their senior year. Students must meet minimum standards on the GRE or the Miller Analogy Test and complete at least 80 hours of experience in two (2) different areas of practice under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist before they can be admitted into the ISU DPT program. For a complete description of the Idaho State University program and detailed requirements for admission, see the ISU web site.
