Pre-PT Concentration
This plan of study attempts to integrate the factors of a) sequence of prerequisite courses; b) proper sequence of courses for optimal preparation; and c) courses offered only in the Fall or Spring semesters. The schedule does not include any “school” course requirements or courses for fulfilling minor requirements.
*Note – Students accepted into the Pre-PT concentration must declare their major as Exercise Science. This course plan fulfills the requirements for the Exercise Science major with a focus on Physical Therapy.
