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.

Sequencing

  • One semester of college Chemistry is recommended before taking Microbiology - BIOL 200/203. 
     
  • Students should take BIOL 240 before BIOL 246 if possible. 
     
  • Preference will be given to students who have at least 80% of their math and science prerequisites (8 classes) completed at the time of application! Don't wait to take those courses.
