Step 1: Complete a Bachelor's Degree Program. Most schools of veterinary medicine require or prefer applicants to have a bachelor's degree. While many students earn their degree in a biological science, most veterinary schools don't have a preferred major as long as certain science courses are taken. Take the GRE. 2  Many schools of veterinary medicine require applicants to submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. 3  This exam measures a person's readiness for graduate-level studies.
Curriculum Degree Requirements. To earn the Doctor of Physical Therapy at the University of Washington, you must complete 165-167 credits, including 34 credits from clinical internships and an 11-credit capstone project. While all courses are required, and there are no electives, students can earn additional independent study credits for special research or clinical activities.
Educational Requirements for PTs. Before they are allowed to practice, physical therapists must have earned graduate degrees from accredited academic programs in physical therapy. These programs typically culminate in a doctoral degree and take at least three years to complete.
