"there are two colleges offering Masters in Physical Therapy left..." WRONG

[pari18]

hello All,

Im a Physical Therapy Graduate from India, actively researching for universities which offer MASTERS in Physical Therapy. And from research I found out that none of the universities currently in US are offering a master's programm.

The only university that still offers MASTERS in PT is University of Puerto Rico - Medical Sciences Center

Hope this helps , any new bee in the field

Thanks a million in advance...

I don't know which one, but look here: Physical Therapist (PT) Education Overview this is where I got the info from. Also the article stated all schools must be doctorate only by 2015, which is only 8 months from now.

It is possible the University in Puerto Rico you mentioned might be the "one" left the APTA site mentioned, as PR is considered part of the U.S.

^^That's what I thought too about PR.

pari18, do not waste your time doing a master's program! You need a doctorate to be competitive in the job market. The MSPT degree has been in the process of phasing out for AT LEAST 12 years that I know of.
