Professional programs in physical therapy (PT) grant the master’s degree (M.P.T.) or doctoral degree (D.P.T.) in physical therapy. Required courses for these two programs vary, though the bachelor’s degree is required by most PT programs. These programs do not require a particular undergraduate major, but most Concordia pre-PT students major in biology, psychology or exercise science.
Most PT programs require the following college courses:
Most of the additional courses that are required for a degree from Concordia are also highly recommended by PT schools. Most PT programs require the Graduate Record Exam.
Concordia pre-PT students work closely with the HPAC to achieve a successful application. Experience in the field is often an important prerequisite. Concordia students obtain such experiences through a combination of volunteer and work experiences, and participating in the Cooperative Education in Physical Therapy program.
