2 Students who plan to apply to physical therapy (PT) schools bear the ultimate responsibility of determining specific coursework required for each school where application is to be made. Prerequisite coursework found on the 4 Year Planner indicates only the minimum requirements for most PT schools in the U.S. Students who perform well in additional science classes are more likely to be viewed as satisfactory professional school applicants. Applicants should be familiar with the intricacies of the PT profession in order to have the best chance for admission. Selection criteria include Academic Performance (such as the overall GPA, the science and/or prerequisite GPA, the GRE score, etc.), Professional Preparation (experiential background, community service, and volunteer work), and Other Factors (hours working in more than one PT setting, completing an internship, personal maturity, professional preparation, the personal statement essay, etc.). It is recommended that students obtain as many contact hours as possible (200+ for some schools) through observing, volunteering, or working in the PT field. PT schools selection committees will assess all characteristics of each applicant, cognitive as well as noncognitive. Factors such as high intellectual ability, evidence of a strong interest in physical therapy, a high level of personal integrity, varied and relevant experiences, and demonstrated leadership and service to others indicate a student s preparedness for both PT school admission and navigation of the professional school curriculum once accepted. It is recommended that students include Exercise Physiology and additional Social Science classes (Psychology, Sociology, and/or Anthropology) into their undergraduate curriculum. *While many PT schools will accept College Algebra for the math requirement, both Physics (1408/1409 or 1420/1430), sequences have prerequisite requirements of MTH 1304(Precalculus) or 1321(Calculus I) respectively). ** Please refer to individual PT schools websites for preferred Anatomy & Physiology sequence. ***Technical Writing (ENG 3300) is recommended by most PT schools. This class can be used to replace ENG 1304 for most degree plans at Baylor University. ****Developmental Psychology may be taken as either PSY 3341 or 3350 depending on major. Some PT schools prefer or require one of these choices. Others prefer or require Abnormal Psychology, which may be taken as either PSY 3321 or 3330 (Psychopathology) depending on the student s major.
