Pre-Physical Therapy

The College of Health Professions is a great resource to learn more about becoming a physical therapist.  Their website has information on advising, admission requirements, and admission profiles for TXST's Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate program.   

Admission into this and other physical therapy programs can be very competitive.  Schools can vary; be sure to review the requirements closely.

Exercise and Sports Science: Pre-Rehabilitation Therapy

The Exercise and Sports Science: Pre-Rehabilitation Therapy program aims to prepare undergraduate students for entrance to a graduate-level health program such as Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Chiropractic, Physician Assistant, Orthotic/Prosthetic, or Athletic Training.

While this pre-professional program includes many prerequisite courses, interested students should research the admission requirements for their desired schools/programs to see if this is the right major for them.

Pre-Physical Therapy Organization (PPTO)

The Pre-Physical Therapy Organization (PPTO) provides students with information on physical therapy graduate programs at Texas State and other institutions, helps students find volunteer and observation opportunities in the physical therapy field, and organizes guest lectures with established physical therapists and information sessions for different schools and programs.
