Classes begin in late May.

Can I apply Early Decision?
No. The decision has been made to eliminate the early decision process for applicants.

What is the graduation rate?
The two-year average Graduation Rate as per CAPTE criteria for the Classes of 2019 and 2020 was 99%.

What is the employment rate for graduates?
100% of our PT graduates who passed the licensure exam and sought employment had jobs as practicing Physical Therapists.

How does licensure work?
After graduation, you must sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) and apply for licensure for the state in which you plan to practice.

Can I transfer into the program?
The College of Health Professions does not accept transfer students.

Does Rosalind Franklin University accept International Students?
Yes. If you completed coursework outside of the US, you must have a course-by-course evaluation completed by www.wes.org. This evaluation should be sent directly to PTCAS.

A Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is also required if English is not your native language. Official results of the exam should be sent directly to the PTCAS from Educational Testing Service (ETS). This requirement is waived if you have attended a minimum of two consecutive years of college study or higher in the United States or if applicant is a permanent US resident
