Messiah University juniors

The Doctor of Physical Therapy Early Assurance Program (DPT EAP) allows Messiah University undergraduate pre-physical therapy students, or students of any major who fulfill the program’s admissions requirements, to obtain an early assurance regarding their admission into the DPT program.

Messiah University students must complete all application requirements (which can include the future course of study to fulfill prerequisites and their academic degree) with the application for early assurance as early as the summer of their junior year. The deadline for all application materials is December 15. Messiah undergraduate students may transfer their early assurance application to be processed with the regular application process if early assurance is not granted, and be considered in that applicant pool. Messiah University students receive preference when applicants are similar in admissions criteria.

Please note: Students cannot be committed to multiple early assurance programs or acceptances to DPT programs with other institutions. Students who receive a DPT early assurance acceptance notice are committed to enroll into the Messiah University DPT Program.

Criteria to apply for the early assurance program as a Messiah University junior:

• 3.3/4.0 overall GPA
• 3.3/4.0 prerequisites, with no more than four science courses with labs outstanding at the time of application
• Must pass the DPT program interview session
