PHYSICAL THERAPISTSwork with multiple body systems to evaluate patients and determine overall function. They then plan programs

that will improve functionality by improving conditions such as strength, balance, coordination and range of motion. Therapists require excellent interpersonal skills and will work directly with patients.Students are admitted to SUNY Upstate beginning in a summer rotation and the program will take three years to complete. Entry into SUNY Upstate University requires a bachelor’s degree (typically two years beyond the Associates Degree). Advisement for admission to SUNY Upstate is dependent upon the bachelor degree transfer institutional requirements, GRE scores, and work or volunteer experience in Physical Therapy. Graduates from the SUNY Upstate program are eligible to take the National Licensing Exam for Physical Therapy.
