Note: Students who desire admission to physician assistant

programs will also need to have 1,000 hours or more of direct

health care experience. Specific requirements vary from one

program to another.

Prephysical Therapy

Many Cedarville students who successfully apply to graduate

programs in physical therapy have completed the B.A. in biology.

Students should contact the specific schools they wish to attend

to determine the exact prerequisites. Physical therapy schools

usually require 40 to 100 hours of experience assisting a licensed

physical therapist prior to application. In addition to general

degree requirements, the following courses are recommended for

admission to most physical therapy schools:

Biology courses:

BIO-1110 Introduction to Biology....................................................4 BIO-1120 General Zoology ............................................................4 BIO-3300 Genetics. .......................................................................4 BIO-3450, 3460 Human Structure and Function I and II................7 BIO-4770 Pathophysiology.............................................................3

Chemistry courses:

CHEM-1110, 1120 General Chemistry I and II................................8 CHEM-3510 Organic Chemistry I...................................................4 CHEM-3710 Biochemistry..............................................................4

Additional mathematics and science courses:
