Pre-Physical Therapy
Physical therapists design plans for patients to help them manage pain and improve strength and mobility. Those with the goal of becoming a physical therapist can start their education at Kish by learning important subjects in the field like biology, chemistry and physics. The coursework is the first step on the road to becoming a licensed physical therapist.
In our Pre-Physical Therapy pathway, you may:
- Earn an Associate of Science degree with a focus on physical therapy-related classes.
- Prepare yourself to transfer to a four-year institution to continue your physical therapy education.
