In the US, it now requires a master’s or doctorate level. The structure of programs varies, but most are designed to be completed in 6-7 years. Many DPT programs have a 4-3 didactic with four years to complete your undergraduate degree with an additional 3 years to complete the professional phase. Some MS programs run on a 3-3 or 4-2 didatic.

I suggest you go to the educational programs section of the APTA website at: http://www.apta.org if you would like to learn more.

It can take as little as 6 years. You will need a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university (4 years at least)…then you will need to apply for a Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) degree program…which usually takes 2 years to finish. THen you will have to sit for your licensing exams, which shouldn’t be a problem if you do well in your MPT program
