  3. Nonrefundable application fee: $50 payable online at the end of the application.
  4. Personal Statement. Submit as part of the online application essay describing how completion of this degree will help you meet your professional goals.
  5. Copy of physical therapy license: Send a copy of any certification that allows you to practice physical therapy in your current region.
  6. Evaluation of foreign educational credentials. Because universities around the world differ, we require this evaluation as an assurance that you have completed the U.S. equivalent of a bachelor's degree in physical therapy. (Photocopies are not acceptable for this portion of your application material.) We require a course-by-course credential evaluation.
    (Note: Please do not send original transcripts or certificates of degree completion to the University of Indianapolis. The transcript evaluation from WES, ECE, or ICD fulfills the requirement of your education credentials.)
