About Biology, Pre-Athletic Training
The Bachelor of Science Pre-Athletic Training degree will prepare you for entry into a graduate program in physical therapy (PT) or athletic training (AT) by obtaining a baccalaureate degree, completing the prerequisite course work for entry into specific programs and by obtaining a broad variety of volunteer clinical experience under the direction of a physical therapist or athletic trainer (120-150 hours).
Both majors contain a common core of courses that will expose you to courses in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and psychology. Based on a pre-physical therapy or athletic training concentration, you’ll be able to choose elective courses from a specified list of biology, chemistry and kinesiology courses based on your personal interests.
See the Kinesiology Athletic Training page for that concentration’s requirements.
