Physical therapists, also known at PTs, provide services that help improve mobility, restore function, relieve pain, and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities of patients with injuries or disease. PTs work closely with patients to restore, maintain, and promote their overall fitness and wellness for healthier and more active lifestyles. The Pre-Physical Therapy program at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will prepare you for higher education in the field.
The educational requirements for admission to a physical therapy program vary from school to school. Many programs require a bachelor’s degree; some will accept applicants after 90 credit hours of undergraduate education. However, since the majority of students entering physical therapy school have a baccalaureate degree, students pursuing pre-physical therapy are expected to choose a major so that they can be working towards a bachelor's degree concurrently with the Pre-Physical Therapy program.
