PrePhysical Therapy Curriculum
Physical Therapy is a track made up of pre-requisite courses you complete along with a major of your choice. This prepares you for admission into a Physical Therapy Doctoral program. The GRE is required.
A Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution must be completed prior to start of program classes. The degree can be in any field, but course work must have included the specific DPT prerequisites.
