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: GMTH-1030 Precalculus................................................................4 PHYS-1010, 1020 College Physics I and II...................................10 Psychology: PYCH-1600 General Psychology...................................................3 PYCH-2600 Human Development: Lifespan..................................3 PYCH-2610 Statistics.....................................................................3 PYCH-2640 Psychology of Abnormal Behavior..............................3 Other highly recommended electives: ATRN-2650 Therapeutic Exercise..................................................3 ATRN-3660 Therapeutic Modalities. ..............................................3 BIO-4710 Principles of Bioethics....................................................3 ESS-3920 Biomechanics...............................................................3 ESS-3940 Structural Kinesiology...................................................1 ESS-3900 Physiology of Exercise..................................................3 Page 185 2014–15 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Department of Science and Mathematics Special Programs
