Editor's notes
- NAU does not interview, so the Casper test, GRE and PTCAS materials decide the outcome; Casper must be done before your file is reviewed. Apply by the October 15 priority deadline, since seats fill and later qualified applicants go to a waitlist. Only two letters are needed, at least one from a PT. Observation hours are recommended but not required, and the program values a range of settings over many hours in one.
