University of Arizona- Alternative Pathway

Application timing

Priority Deadline: October 15, 2026; Application close date: October 1, 2026 · Rolling admissions: Yes · Additional timing instructions on the source page.

A past date remains past; no date is advanced to a future year. Confirm whether the program requires submission, completion, or verification by its deadline.

Observation experience

The alternative-pathway page requires 20 PT-related observation, volunteer or service-learning hours. PTCAS permits broader community-service examples and asks for an uploaded activity record. Confirm which activities qualify; do not assume the standard pathway’s clinic wording automatically governs this route.

Hours alone do not establish eligibility. Check accepted settings, supervision, verification and completion timing.

Tuition and published program costs

$60,329 resident / $132,240 nonresident full-program tuition estimate for Cohort Two; Arizona still labels the financial page pending ABOR approval.

Rate period: Cohort Two beginning 2026-2027

• The official admissions page establishes one program with two admissions pathways and a common cohort selection process. This supports common tuition scope, but pending approval prevents classifying the figures as approved current rates. Fees and living/clinical expenses are additional.
