Educational requirements for Physical Therapists have been set at a national level. Students first must obtain their bachelor’s degree in health care related field such as exercise physiology, kinesiology, exercise science, biology, anatomy or physics. Upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree, students must apply for a graduate level physical therapy program. There are both master’s level and doctorate (DPT-Doctor of Physical Therapy) programs offered, although the trend seems to be shifting toward the doctorate level programs. After graduating from a physical therapy graduate program students must sit for the national physical therapy exam.
There are a few New Hampshire physical therapy schools but there is a wide variety of online universities offering PT programs. It is important to research the various options available to find one that is the best fit for your educational needs. Research how long the programs are, the cost of tuition, how many students are enrolled in each program, necessary prerequisites, and what types of internships are required.
