Prephysical Therapy Concentration
The prephysical therapy concentration admits both pre- and
postbaccalaureate students into courses required for application
to physical therapy graduate programs (MPT or DPT).
This concentration offers 11 courses scheduled as lectures
on weeknights and Saturday laboratories in the fall, winter,
and spring quarters. Students applying to programs requiring
a term of calculus should also take a 12th course, MATH 220
Differential Calculus of One-Variable Functions. Students
typically enroll in two courses per quarter and should expect
to complete the program in a total of 6 to 9 quarters or 15
to 24 months.
While this program meets minimal requirements for application
to most physical therapy schools in Illinois, students are
strongly advised to find out the admission requirements of
the schools in which they are interested before enrolling
in the PDP to ensure that the SCS program fulfills their requirements.
Note: Prospective students who are
physical therapist assistants (PTAs) or occupational therapist
assistants (OTAs) and who have already earned their associate’s
degrees may simultaneously complete their bachelor’s
degrees in any of the 19 major fields of study currently available
at SCS, including the major in biological sciences: human
biology.
