Pre-Physical Therapy Pathway (Humanities and Social Sciences)

Identified majors within the College of Arts and Sciences have an opportunity to pursue a pre-physical therapy pathway. Humanities and social science students can do so by completing their major requirements along with meeting the general prerequisite courses for the graduate program in physical therapy (see list below). Simply completing the specified courses does not guarantee admission into a graduate program. Students should consult with their undergraduate academic advisor or the Institute for Physical Therapy Education Program Director for details about minimum grade requirements and conditions for completing a reserved seat admissions program.
