Pre-Physical Therapy

Although Simpson College does not offer a pre-physical therapy degree, entry into a physical therapy school does require a bachelor’s degree.  Each physical therapy graduate program varies in their specific requirements.  It is highly recommended that students interested in this area major in Biology.  The Biology curriculum here at Simpson College meets the needs of those students desiring to enter physical therapy school.  Students interested in physical therapy should contact specific physical therapy schools for general information and admission requirements.  It is also highly recommended that students gain experience with a licensed physical therapist as soon as possible.  Students may register for a field experience during a May Term.  Most physical therapy schools require a minimum amount of field experience for entrance into the program.
