Pre-Physical Therapy

There are ten physical therapy programs in Texas, and their admissions requirements vary. Most physical therapy (P.T.) programs in Texas offer Master of Physical Therapy (M.P.T.) degrees. Most require completion of a baccalaureate degree prior to matriculation, although some accept students after completion of 90 hours of prerequisite course work. The average GPA of those accepted may be as high as 3.5. Most programs require Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores. All require evidence of an understanding of physical therapy. Programs vary in length as well as in specific requirements. Students should contact members of the TLU Health Professions Advisory Committee and should refer to the catalogs of appropriate universities for specific information about particular P.T. programs. Pre-requisites for most P.T. programs include: ENG 131, 132; COM 374; HIST 131, 132; POLS 231, 232; MATH 138; STAT 374; SOC 130; PSY 131, 236, and/or 332; BIO 147, 148, 431; CHEM 143, 144; and PHYS 141, 142.
