Pre-Physical Therapy Program
Hawaii Pacific University has developed a transfer program enabling students to enter a Doctor of Physical Therapy program at Carroll University (Wisconsin) or Creighton University (Nebraska). After completing three years of coursework at HPU, students will be admitted to the Physical Therapy program at Carroll College or Creighton University provided they complete the prescribed course of study at HPU with a 3.25 cumulative grade point average. Completion of the required biology, chemistry, and 1 semester of physics are required prior to application.
Applicants must also have completed additional requirements, such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and letters of recommendation. Students are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor their first year at HPU to begin the matriculation process for either institution.
Upon completion of the first year of the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at either institution, HPU students will receive the Bachelor of Arts degree from Hawaii Pacific University. An official transcript will need to be sent to the Office of Admissions, along with a completed Petition to Graduate Form and the required graduation fee. Students will then continue at their respective institution to earn their Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
