PRE-PHYSICAL THERAPY
The Pre-Physical Therapy Program prepares students for entrance into graduate programs of not only physical therapy, but schools of medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, nursing, public health and other allied health programs.  Furthermore, some of our graduates pursue research careers via masters and PhD programs in exercise science, nutrition, or biomechanics.  The pre-PT program's curriculum is interdisciplinary and includes courses in exercise science, biology, chemistry and physics.
