Categories of Matriculated Students (Graduate Students Accepted by Division of Physical Therapy)
- MATRICULATED STUDENT - This category applies to any graduate student who has met all admission requirements for the degree and is, therefore, eligible to apply for admission to candidacy.
- CANDIDACY - This category applies to matriculated students who have taken at least one half of the course work for their program of graduate-level courses and successfully completed such courses with a cumulative quality average of 3.0 or higher.
Doctoral Research Project
Students in the physical therapy program perform two original research projects during their program of study and present that original work prior to graduation. Four research courses are provided to prepare students for their research. Each student group will be assigned a research advisor at the time of determination of the group’s research topic.
Academic/Research Advising
Upon entry into the physical therapy program, each student is assigned an academic advisor. This advisor is to assist/counsel the student as needed. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their advisor rather than wait for problems. When a research advisor is assigned, that advisor may be different from the academic advisor to provide the student with a research advisor most suitable for the chosen topic or design. If at any time there is a need for a change in an academic or research advisor, the student and current advisor will present their request to the chair of the division.
Student Membership in Professional Organizations
Students are encouraged to join the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), the national professional organization for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The APTA sets the standards for the physical therapy profession; students are exposed to many APTA documents and publications during their physical therapy education. The APTA has a student category for membership. The American Academy of Physical Therapy (AAPT) is also a national organization for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The AAPT’s mission pertains to recruitment and mentoring of minority and disadvantaged students for careers in physical therapy and toward improving health care for minority and other disadvantaged individuals.
