Most colleges and universities are now dropping their Masters degree requirement for Physical Therapist. Most institutions are now making the Physical Therapist degree a Doctorate. Thus, if you are starting your 9th year (high school Freshman) you will need to complete four years of high school, four years of undergraduate work for your Bachelors, and three to four years for your Doctorate. So, it would take approximately 11 to 12 years from the start of high school. Sounds like an eternity, but time will pass anyway. Hold on to the dream!

With a BS degree in science and physical education How long will it take me to become a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant?
First, they are two extremes within the same field. A physical therapist assistant is a two year associate degree, while a physical therapist must have the minimum of a master's degree in physical therapy, and that may soon change to a doctorate. How many credits will transfer to the associate degree will depend on which courses you complete within your bachelor's degree. For instance, have you completed human anatomy and physiology I and II? These two course alone would take one academic year if you take them within the two regular academic semesters because of the sequential nature of the courses. Thus, how long it would take depends on the courses already completed, which courses were completed, and whether you have all the prerequisite coursework completed in terms of even applying to the master's program, which would take approximately two to three years to complete. Lastly, please understand, that some students feel they can take the physical therapy assistant program and use that as a lead-in to the physical therapist program. Nothing you complete within the associate program (even the professional phase courses) will apply to the master's program.
