The Pre-Physical Therapy Pathway at Carroll College is designed to prepare students for application to graduate programs in physical therapy. While students often choose majors in STEM fields, more important is a student's success in the prerequisite coursework. Internships, shadowing, and other involvement with professionals is highly encouraged as many physical therapy programs require volunteer or paid experience. To learn more about the Pre-Physical Therapy program at Carroll College, visit: https://www.carroll.edu/pre-professional/pre-physical-therapy.

Please note that completion of the Pre-Physical Therapy Pathway does not guarantee that all graduate/professional admission prerequisites have been met, nor does it assure admission into a physical therapy degree program. Carroll students pursuing this pathway need to work closely with the appropriate pre-professional advisor, as well as the admission office(s) of all prospective graduate/professional programs.

Note: certification in Advanced First Aid and CPR is required by most physical therapy programs. Communication and English composition prerequisites are included in Carroll Core requirements. A small number of schools allow courses in Comparative Anatomy and Vertebrate Physiology to substitute for Human Anatomy and Physiology.
