Effective fall 2010, the Department of Physical Therapy at UTC will only admit students who have completed a bachelor’s degree in a major other than pre-physical therapy by the time they enter the program. As a result of this change, undergraduate students will no longer be allowed to declare pre-physical therapy as a major on our campus.
Alternatively, undergraduate students must declare and complete a degree in a related field while simultaneously completing all program pre-requisite coursework. Suggested programs of study include the BS in:
- HHP Exercise Science
- HHP Movement Science
- Psychology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Biology
Students should seek primary advisement for their declared major in the appropriate academic department. They are encouraged to seek advisement relating to the PT program prerequisites by calling the Department of Physical Therapy at 425-4747; they should also study the department website: www.utc.edu/physicaltherapy.
