Early Admission grants students the opportunity to apply to the DPT program during their junior year and enter the DPT program after completing 90 credit hours of college-level coursework.
Students who seek to gain early admission to the DPT program must complete a minimum of three years (six fall/spring semesters or 12 quarters) of residential coursework on a college campus prior to starting the DPT program.
To be eligible to apply for early admission, students must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA and be on track to earn a total of 90 credit hours by the end of their junior year. The 90 hours must contain 2 writing intensive (WI) courses, satisfy the MU general education requirements, and include the DPT core required courses. At time of application, students may be enrolled in no more than 2 DPT core required courses.
If you are eligible to apply for early admission, please complete the Physical Therapy Department Application. The departmental application deadline is January 24th.
Non-University of Missouri-Columbia students will not be required to apply for general admission to the University of Missouri-Columbia until they have received notification of their acceptance (or non-acceptance) to the Physical Therapy Program.
Applicants who wish to be eligible for financial aid must, however, apply to the University of Missouri Admissions Office by March 1.
