In the US, it requires graduation from an accredited program that results in either a master’s or doctorate level degree. You will most likely need to complete your BS or BA as well as the prerequisite courses which generally include many of the sciences, math, and pscyhology.

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:
