The Health Science Pre-Physical Therapy bachelor's program serves as a foundational pathway, encompassing all prerequisite coursework needed to apply for graduate-level physical therapy programs.
According to the Division of Physical Therapy, aspiring graduate students aim to join a healthcare profession focused on assessing and rehabilitating patients with movement impairments. These may stem from various conditions including musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular issues, or age-related challenges. Physical therapists work with patients of all ages, helping restore mobility and enhance quality of life.
Though ideal for students planning to pursue graduate studies in Physical Therapy, earning the undergraduate Health Science Pre-Physical Therapy degree represents just one requirement for the competitive Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. Admission is selective with limited availability. Refer to the DPT program details for complete admission requirements.
