Doctor of Physical Therapy

The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved the creation of the Consortium Doctorate of Physical Therapy led by the Medical College of Georgia with North Georgia College & State University and Armstrong Atlantic State University.

With approval by the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), each of the institutional partners offers all of the course work leading to the doctoral degree (DPT) by using their existing faculty, facilities, and resources, while the Medical College of Georgia acts as the degree-granting authority.

• Candidates for the Georgia DPT Consortium should apply separately to all institutions of interest.

• A baseline set of admissions requirements for the Georgia DPT Consortium is followed. Individual institutions may include additional prerequisites.

• Tuition is based on the Medical College of Georgia graduate student rate.

• MCG will register, bill, and disburse financial aid to students to Georgia DPT Consortium students.

• If accepted in the NGCSU program, students will be required to submit a completed Medical College of Georgia Certificate of Immunization before registration.
