NOTE:
The recommended prerequisite courses have been chosen to
provide students with the appropriate background to be successful in
the professional DPT curriculum. For students transferring from
other institutions, the specific courses may vary. The equivalency
of the content in those courses to meet prerequisite requirements
will be determined by the faculty of the Physical Therapy Program.
Under special circumstances students may be admitted who have not
completed all of the recommended prerequisites but who can
demonstrate that they possess an academic background that provides
them an equivalent preparation. The faculty of the physical therapy
program determines whether a student has received an equivalent
preparation.

All
prerequisite classes must be taken for grade - Credit/No Credit will not
be considered.
