Pre-Physical Therapy

If you’ve ever recovered from a long illness or injury, you know how great it feels to finally get back to normal. With a career in physical therapy, you’d help your clients reach that point through your patient guidance and expertise. Are you interested in this fulfilling work?

If you’re intimidated by the thought of pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy, don’t worry. We’ll be with you every step of the way. Our pre-PT advisors will work with you to make sure you’re taking the courses you’ll need to qualify for physical therapy graduate school.

St. Scholastica is well-known for its wide variety of health care programs, like exercise physiology and psychology. These majors would perfectly complement the graduate PT program.

As a pre-PT student, you’ll be able to build a community with other aspiring physical therapists through the PT club.

The future is bright for physical therapists, with high demand and a median average entry-level salary of $76,000.
