Prephysical Therapy - Professional Health Careers

The prephysical therapy concentration admits post-baccalaureate 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 to ensure that the SCS program fulfills their requirements.

This program is designed for career changers who do not have an extensive background in science. Students who need only some of these courses may register as students-at-large, but will not be eligible for financial aid.
