Pre-Physical Therapy Concentration

General Information

The Bachelor of Science in Biology/Pre–Physical Therapy Concentration is designed to prepare students for admission to each of the six professional physical therapy programs in Michigan. These programs generally take three to four years to complete, at which time a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree is obtained. Candidates for admission into a professional physical therapy program must obtain high grades in their preparatory coursework, and they must also complete a minimum number of hours of documented observational or work experience in a physical therapy setting.

Career Opportunities

Physical therapists are in high demand and play a key role in helping patients gain mobility and strength after surgery or accident trauma. The future for physical therapists is very bright. With people living longer, joint replacement surgery has become very common and with it the need for compassionate and well-trained physical therapists.
