Pre-Physical Therapy

About the Program

Kentucky Wesleyan College offers pre-professional preparation for students seeking admission to a physical therapy program. Upon completion of your degree, incorporating pre-requisite courses, you will be prepared to apply to a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program.

Kentucky Wesleyan’s pre-physical therapy curriculum recommends two semesters of anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, and physics, in addition to a psychology and statistics course. Additional courses in exercise science may be recommended. The remainder of the curriculum includes coursework necessary to fulfill a Kentucky Wesleyan College degree.


Physical Therapy School Preparation

Most physical therapy programs have a common core of undergraduate courses required for admission. Kentucky Wesleyan pre-physical therapy students are encouraged to research DPT programs of interest and will begin the application process, typically at the end of their junior year. A faculty advisor will provide guidance during this process.
