Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology: Pre-Health Professions Concentration 3+3 Program 1 Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology: Pre-Health Professions Concentration 3+3 Program The Pre-Health Professions Concentration prepares students for admission into graduate programs in a multitude of the health professions such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, medicine, dentistry, physician's assistant practice, and optometry. The Department of Kinesiology's Core is a perfect complement to the standard prerequisite courses and expanded elective courses available through this concentration. This combination of coursework and practical experience will position students well for continued study at the graduate level. While the Pre-Health Professions concentration includes the standard prerequisite courses and the option for elective courses for admission into graduate programs for a multitude of health professions, students are advised to check the prerequisites for their intended graduate programs and work these into their programs where elective coursework is afforded. Students are also advised to maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.00 (B) since entry into graduate programs in the health professions is highly competitive. A grade of B or better in the specific prerequisites is required for most graduate programs. In addition to the Pre-Health Professions concentration, the Department of Kinesiology has a memorandum of understanding with Temple University's Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program providing academically gifted students the opportunity to enter into a 3 + 3 program. Students who are accepted into Temple's DPT program at the conclusion of their junior year are allowed to count the first year of their DPT program as the fourth year of their undergraduate studies, thus eliminating one year of academic work. Students can only start the 3 + 3 program the first semester of their freshmen year. Kinesiology Pre-Health Professions Concentration, 3+3 Program Students must meet the admissions requirements (http://cph.temple.edu/pt/degree-programs/doctor-physical-therapy-dpt/33-accelerated-prebaccalaureate-admission) for early admission to Temple University's College of Public Health Doctor of Physical Therapy program. If you are applying to other physical therapy programs, please use the web to find admissions requirements. Guidelines for the Completion of the Bachelor of Science Degree from the Department of Kinesiology Bachelor of Science candidates in the Department of Kinesiology must complete all requirements for their major before entering the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program in the College of Public Health with the following exception: Pre-Health Professions 3+3 students may count 27 to 31 equivalent credit hours from the first year in the DPT Program in the College of Public Health to fulfill their general credit hour requirements for the B.S. degree in the Department of Kinesiology. Admission into the Department of Kinesiology's Pre-Health Professions concentration's 3+3 program is highly competitive and challenging. If you are interested in pursuing this accelerated program, you must declare it immediately upon admission and talk to an advisor within the department prior to registering for your first-semester classes. Applications for this program can be submitted starting in your senior year in high school until December of your first semester at Temple University. Your SAT scores and high school transcript must support your capacity to handle successfully a rigorous academic workload. Students in this program must be able to achieve and maintain cumulative and prerequisite GPAs of 3.50 or better. If students fail to get admitted into the College of Public Health's DPT program after their junior year, they are required to finish their program within the Department of Kinesiology as defined in the academic plan's alternate fourth year. Summary of Requirements University Requirements All new students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd (http://bulletin.temple.edu/undergraduate/general-education)) curriculum. All Temple students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses as part of the major. The specific writing-intensive courses required for this major are KINS 3296 and KINS 4296. College Requirement All College of Public Health undergraduates must successfully complete the College Core Course, HRPR 1001 Public Health: The Way We Live, Work and Play. Because of the highly structured nature of the 3+3 program, students in the program may have to take HRPR 1001 in the summer or as an overload course.
