About Pre-Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists are licensed healthcare providers that help restore or improve motor function in patients who suffer from loss of muscle strength, physical mobility, or circulation. Physical Therapists conduct evaluations, rehabilitate, and treat patients with mobility activities, exercise, and other physical techniques. They teach patients how to remain healthy, prevent injury, and stay physically active.

Portland State University (PSU) offers a strong Pre-Physical Therapy program that enables students to complete their prerequisite coursework, earn a baccalaureate degree, and obtain assistance in preparing for and applying to Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) schools across the country. Admission to Physical Therapy programs is limited and competitive. Most professional programs require that an A, B, or C grade be earned in all required preparatory courses, and most students accepted by professional schools have a minimum overall GPA of 3.0; however, on average the GPA is much higher.

Pre-Physical Therapy is a professional track (not a major), but common majors for Pre-Physical Therapy students include Biology, Applied Health and Fitness, Public Health Studies, Psychology, and Science. They can choose any major while also completing their Pre-Physical Therapy coursework. They can discuss with their Pre-Physical Therapy advisor how these two components fit together into course plans.

Prospective students interested in PSU can meet with a Pre-Physical Therapy advisor to learn about the Pre-Physical Therapy therapy track.
