In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the George Washington University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (GW PT) program has revised some of its admissions criteria for courses taken from Spring 2020 through Fall 2021. Please review this page for specific information related to coursework taken within this timeframe.
Pass/fail coursework
Given the disruption experienced due to COVID-19, we recognize some students have chosen and/or were required to take courses Pass/Fail or Credit/No-Credit from spring 2020 through fall 2021. Therefore, GW DPT will accept coursework from spring 2020 through fall 2021 Pass/Fail or Credit/No-Credit for prerequisites.
Online/distance learning courses and labs
In keeping with our admissions requirements during past admissions cycles, prerequisite courses (including labs) taken online at any regionally accredited institution are acceptable. Therefore, online and distance learning courses and labs will be accepted in fulfillment of prerequisite coursework completed during any admissions cycle, including during the 2026-27 PTCAS admissions cycle.
