The Pre-Physical Therapy program provides a strong academic foundation for advancing into physical therapy studies
Supporting an elderly patient's recovery after an injury, assisting a child with special needs, or rehabilitating an athlete's injured limb demonstrates how physical therapists make meaningful impacts. As a natural science pre-physical therapy student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, you could take advantage of an accelerated three-year pathway. IUP has established unique partnerships that may enable you to transfer credits from Gannon University's Physical Therapy Program in Erie, PA during your first year to fulfill final-year graduation requirements at IUP.
IUP's curriculum includes foundational courses in biology, chemistry, and physics to ready you for Doctor of Physical Therapy programs. The university also offers complementary coursework in humanities and social sciences. For those preferring a traditional four-year bachelor's degree, IUP provides alternative academic paths and major options to explore.
