Acuity Insights Assessments – Comprehensive Admissions Assessment
All applicants applying to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program, at the University of North Georgia are required to complete Acuity Insights Assessments for the 2023-2024 admissions cycle. Acuity Insights Assessment (Casper) is a standardized, multi-part online assessment that measures different competencies and attributes that we believe are important for successful students and graduates of our program. This assessment will complement the other tools that we use for applicant review and evaluation. In implementing Acuity Insights Assessment, we are trying to further enhance fairness and objectivity in our selection process.
Acuity Insights Assessment consists of a section called Casper. Casper is a 90-110 online, open-response situational judgment test.
