Graduates are eligible to take the national certification examination for the physical therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Physical Therapy (NBCPT). After successful completion of this examination, the individual will be an registered Physical Therapist (PT). Most states require licensure to practice, and state licenses are usually based on the results of the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE).

Any arrest, charge, or conviction for a felony or a misdemeanor may not only affect a student's ability to attend certain clinical sites for clinical education and fieldwork, it may also affect a graduate's ability to sit for the certification examination or obtain state licensure.
