<p>im looking for a list or atleast some colleges in Florida that offer like physical therapy.</p>

<p>Google “physical therapy”, “Florida,” “college.”
Or Google “physical therapy” “association” and presumably you’ll find the professional organization for physical therapists, and that will include a list of colleges offering physical therapy majors.</p>

<p>Keep in mind, too, that physical therapy usually is a restricted major, requiring higher grades than do most other majors. High science and math grades are necessary, too.</p>

<p>Apparently its a pretty good program giving u a dual degree in bachelors of health science and doctor in Physical therapy. However very selective as i saw the requirements. what are ur stats?</p>

<p>Here is the American Physical therapy association site: <a href=“http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?section=PT_Programs&template=/aptaapps/accreditedschools/acc_schools_map.cfm&process=1&state=FL&type=PT&&fromStudentMap=1[/url]”>http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?section=PT_Programs&template=/aptaapps/accreditedschools/acc_schools_map.cfm&process=1&state=FL&type=PT&&fromStudentMap=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yes, those requirements are rigorous, and from what I saw at the public university where I used to work, probably are typical.</p>

<p>"The Honors Program in Physical Therapy (HPPT) is offered to high school graduates with high academic ability seeking careers in physical therapy. Students may earn both the Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) and the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degrees in a six-year accelerated program, rather than the customary seven years.</p>

<p>HPPT is a cooperative venture of the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Medicine, with students majoring in Health Sciences. Students pursue an enriched and highly challenging undergraduate curriculum, secure in the knowledge they will have a place in the graduate physical therapy program after successful completion of three years of pre-physical therapy curriculum.</p>

<p>To be considered students must:</p>

<p>be in the top 10 percent of their high school graduating class
have a minimum SAT1 score of 1360 or an ACT score of 31 and a weighted GPA of 3.75
complete a supplemental HPPT application by January 15 of their senior year "</p>
