Physical Therapists Career

We’ve already looked at some of the best physical therapy programs across the US but now it’s time to let’s have a look at the best physical therapy schools in Texas. There are several great physical therapy schools in the lone star state and even though they have not made our top 3 they are very reputable learning institutions and graduating with top marks from any of the schools we are going to talk about is certainly to guarantee you an admission to a physical therapist office later on. In fact we are also going to compare the scores achieved by each school with the top schools in the country so that you will easily see how the top physical therapy schools in Texas compare to the rest.

And the first of the physical therapy schools in Texas is the US Army-Baylor University in Fort Sam Huston. It is the 5^th most important physical therapy school in the country with a total score of 3.9. In case you’ve missed it the top physical therapy program in the US is the University of Southern California with an average of 4.4. So the US Army-Baylor University’s Physical Therapy program is rather impressive and one that you should consider. For early admission you need to register by the 1^st of November but if you’ve missed that date you still have until the 1^st of February to apply. You will need a transcript of your high school’s records with the official seal on it, the SAT or ACT scores with the essay portion completed and it is recommended although not mandatory to have a resume, letters of recommendation and short answer responses. For further information be sure to call them at (210) 221-8410 or e-mail at cynthia.quiroz@amedd.army.mil. In short it is really easy to apply for Baylor and it is one of the top physical therapy schools in Texas so there should be no question about its value to a future employer.

However there are many more physical therapy schools in Texas and the Texas Woman’s University in Denton is ranked 24^th in the country and has a full score of 3.3. Now that might seem a lot lower than the 3.9 the Physical Therapy school in Baylor received but again it is also a lot about how you conduct yourself throughout your academic career and a top grade received from the Texas Woman’s University will go a lot further than average grades at Baylor. In order to apply as a freshman you will need to have graduated from a regionally accredited high school, a home-school program or hold a GED certificate of completion, attained at least a 2.0 high school grade point average on a 4.0 scale and at least 1,000 (critical reading and math combined) on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) OR scored 21 or above composite on the American College Testing Program (ACT). If you are considering to apply be sure to also call at (940) 898-2460 or just write at mdaugherty@twu.edu and you will be on your way to applying to one of the top physical therapy schools in Texas.
