Pre-Professional Physical Therapy
91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s Pre-Professional Physical Therapy (PT) program is a non-degree program created to help students understand what they need to do to be admitted to a physical therapy program.
PT students can select a major in any discipline (such as rehabilitation sciences, exercise science, nutrition education or health promotion) and integrate courses that schools require of undergraduates for their physical therapy programs.
