BS Pre-Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists, sometimes called PTs, help injured or ill people improve their movement and manage their pain. These specialists are often essential to rehabilitating, treating, and preventing patients with chronic conditions, illnesses, or injuries.

Pre-professional programs prepare students for entry into numerous professional programs. The programs are not majors (i.e., a pre-med or pre-physical therapy major) but rather are tailored courses within existing majors. As students determine their program of interest, faculty work one on one with them to ensure they complete the prerequisite course requirements for their professional program(s) of interest. Students intending to apply to a graduate physical therapy program would be best prepared by completing a Biology B.S. or an Exercise Science B.S.
