Pre-Physical Therapy

The physical therapy program is a pre-professional curriculum whereby all the necessary prerequisites can be completed in preparation for applying to a school of physical therapy. Most schools of physical therapy offer a master's degree program.

Students must complete a Bachelor of Science Degree in some area and required courses before applying to a professional physical therapy program. Acceptance by physical therapy schools is very competitive, therefore a strong undergraduate academic record is essential. Following is a list of courses that students must complete to apply to a School of Physical Therapy. Depending upon which School of Physical Therapy a student wishes to apply, there may be additional courses as well.
