Pre-Physical Therapy
Pre-Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy is one of the fastest growing health areas with responsibility for treating and correcting all types of physical disorders. To qualify for admission to a program at a senior institution, applicants must plan to complete a baccalaureate degree before enrollment. The suggested first and second semesters for pre-physical therapy students is similar to that of pre-chiropractic students, however physical therapy students usually take Calculus I instead of College Algebra and Trigonometry.
