Admission is typically very competitive, but once in the program, it is usually an additional 3 years. If you’d completed 2 years of school already, it might take you an additional 2-3 years to complete your bachelor’s and 3 years to complete the professional phase of the program…but this will vary slightly between schools. Upon completion of the PT program, you will need to sit for a licensure exam.

Here is a list of the accredited PT programs in California…sorry, I’m not sure which ones are specifically in LA county:
