How to Apply

To apply to KU's doctoral program in physical therapy, students must complete the online application through the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS) at ptcas.org.

All required materials are submitted directly to PTCAS, and the required information will be forwarded to the programs designated by the applicant.

Once KU receives the data from PTCAS, the applicant will receive an email prompting verification of the application to KU's program and request payment of the $75.00 supplemental KU application fee.

For students accepted into the program without official transcripts available at the time of application, final official transcripts must be sent to the department at the end of the semester in which the undergraduate degree was achieved.

Note: an early decision option is no longer available for applicants to physical therapy programs in the U.S. The American Physical Therapy Association implemented this change beginning in 2020.
