Pre-Physical Therapy Professional Track - 41 Hours

The Pre-Physical Therapy Professional Track can be associated with any major offered at Trine University, though majors in the School of Health Sciences provide the clearest path to successful entry into a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree program. In conjunction with, or in addition to, the curricular requirements of the major, the Pre-Physical Therapy Professional Track requires the below coursework.

Students must also maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better to stay in the track. They are evaluated during their final year via benchmark interviews that address the following characteristics of a successful physical therapy program applicant: development of personal and professional qualities; physical therapy or graduate school applications; and community service, clinical observation and leadership experiences.

Pre-Physical Therapy Professional Track Requirements – 41 hrs.
