Physical therapists apply scientific and medical knowledge in the treatment of patients to alleviate pain, to prevent, correct or minimize deformities, and to improve the patient’s general health and functional ability.

The Pre-Physical Therapy emphasis area is for students who wish to earn their Associate degree and then transfer to a four-year college, university or professional school. These courses prepare students to earn a degree at other institutions that will lead to a career in physical therapy.

It is recommended that students contact professional schools they are interested in attending to be sure their admission requirements are properly met. Students should also discuss their professional ambitions with their advisor in order to get recommendations of courses that will best prepare them for their choice of programs.
