Pre-Physical Therapy

The curriculum in prephysical therapy fulfills course requirements for admission to the three-year doctoral program in the School of Health-Related Professions at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. A baccalaureate degree is required, and students must have observed the work of two clinical departments of physical therapy for at least 40 hours prior to application. Admission to professional programs of physical therapy is extremely competitive and is dependent upon a strong record of academic preparation and achievement; it is determined solely by the professional school.
