Pre-Physical Therapy Minor

A minor in pre-physical therapy is earned by completing a minimum of 44-46 credit hours of required science and other courses and is based on an examination of pre-requisites for graduate physical therapy programs, as described by the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PTCAS), which is a service of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Please note that pre-requisites for DPT programs vary by school so students will need to carefully research the pre-requisites at those schools to which they intend to apply. The Pre-Professional Health Advisor at Xavier will be able to advise students with regard to this minor.
