Doctor's degree
Pre-Physical Therapy
|
|
|
This is a 4+2˝ program leading to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.)
degree from Arcadia. Students pursue an undergraduate major in a discipline such
as Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Sociology, Business or Health Administration.
Prerequisite courses needed for graduate-level study include Biology, Human Physiology,
Chemistry, Physics, Psychology and Statistics.
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) advocates a strong liberal
arts background and doctoral training. Its Vision Statement says that by 2020,
physical therapy "will be provided by physical therapists who are doctors
of physical therapy and who may be board-certified specialists." The 4+2˝
program offered by Arcadia University—four years of study leading to a
bachelor's degree plus 2˝ years of graduate study leading to a D.P.T.—meets
these recommendations. The program in Pre-Physical Therapy emphasizes the sciences
but also includes a well-rounded background in the liberal arts. This combination
prepares students for a health-care profession in helping people overcome the
effects of disease and injury and in the prevention of health problems.
