Admission & Prerequisite Requirements
Students wishing to major in the Physical Therapist Assistant Program must
meet all admission requirements for acceptance to St. Philip's College and the
Allied Health Department. In addition, the student must apply to the
program.
The PTA Program has made some changes in the curriculum.
Students will no longer need to complete prerequisite
courses to apply to the program. However, all applicants are strongly encouraged
to complete any or all of the general education courses
within the curriculum. This will allow the student more time to focus on
the PTA courses once in the program. The general education courses include the
following:
- ENGL 1301 Freshman Composition
- ENGL 1302 Freshman Composition
- BIOL 2401 Human Anatomy & Physiology I
- BIOL 2402 Human Anatomy & Physiology II
- MATH 1314 College Algebra (or higher)
- PSYC 2301 General or Introduction Psychology
