Physical Therapy Pre-Professional Curriculum

During the program's pre-professional phase (freshman, sophomore, and junior years), students work toward completion of their undergraduate majors (with minors in psychology, sociology, or physics) and degrees, while also fulfilling the requirements for entrance into the program's professional phase. During the freshman, sophomore, and junior years, students with pre-physical therapy emphases also complete the College's general education core. The majors with pre-physical therapy emphases give students a strong foundation in humanities and the natural, behavioral, and social sciences. The majors with pre-physical therapy emphases developed to date are:

• BS in Biology
• BA in Biology
• BS in Chemistry
• BS in Psychology
• BS in Sociology

In addition, the BS degree tracks culminate in a problem-solving (research) experience during the senior year, while the BA track has a language competency requirement.
