BA Biology/Doctorate in Physical Therapy (3+3) Sequence

 

Courses that you complete for your BA Biology serve as prerequisite courses for the DPT. All biology majors complete a one-year senior research project. This undergraduate experience is particularly helpful because graduate DPT students are required to participate in clinical research.
