@preptgrind: How long does it take to become a physical therapist? After highschool it takes about 6-7 years to become a licensed physical therapist. It usually takes 4 years to get your bachelors degree. Then it takes 2-3 years to complete physical therapy school. So on average it takes 6-7 years to become a licensed physical therapist. No you cannot skip physical therapy school or test out of physical therapy school either. . . . #Preptgrind #college #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapyschool #kinesiology #exercisescience #career #ptschoolmatch #athletictrainer #dptstudent
