Major In Physical Therapy

Gregory Said:

What classes do I need to take if I am going to major in physical therapy?

We Answered:

PT is a graduate degree, therefore, there are certain classes you will need to take as an undergraduate. At USF, this includes:

General Chemistry I (CHM 2045), General Chemistry I - Laboratory (CHM 2045L); General Chemistry II (CHM 2046), General Chemistry II - Laboratory (CHM 2046L); General Physics (PHY 2053), General Physics - Laboratory (PHY 2053L); General Physics (PHY 2054), General Physics - Laboratory (PHY 2054L); Psychological Science I (PSY 2012); Developmental Psychology (DEP 4005) or Gerontology-The Life Cycle (DEP 2004); Introductory Statistics I (STA 2023); Biology I - Cellular Processes (BSC 2010), Biology I - Cellular Processes - Laboratory (BSC 2010L); Human Anatomy & Physiology I (BSC 2085), Human Anatomy & Physiology II (BSC 2086). Organic Chemistry and/or Biochemistry are highly recommended. Note: Level of courses must be appropriate for science majors, and courses must have been completed within five (5) years of application.

However, you will need to complete a bachelor's degree before you apply to the graduate program. Providing it only takes you 4 years to do that, it will take you 7 years to become a PT.
