A graduate degree is required to become a physical therapist. Graduate degrees include a Master of Science (M.S.) in Physical Therapy, a Master of Physical Therapy and a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Some programs allow you to earn your bachelor's degree as part of your doctoral program.
Alternatively, several universities offer 'blended' (both distance and on-campus) physical therapy doctoral programs for students without physical therapist credentials. To be eligible, participants must hold a bachelor's or master's degree that includes certain prerequisite courses. This program takes about three years to complete.
