Are you interested in finding an undergraduate major that will allow you to eventually gain admission to a graduate physical therapy program?
At the University of New England, you can major in one of many undergraduate programs with careful selection of elective courses to fulfill specific requirements for admission to graduate physical therapy programs.
Popular pre-physical therapy majors at UNE are Medical Biology, Applied Exercise Science and Athletic Training.
Every graduate physical therapy program will have its specific requirements for prerequisite courses and standards for admission but most physical therapy programs will require courses in anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, physics, social and behavioral sciences and statistics. A number of them require courses in mathematics.
