Pre-Physical Therapy - Covenant College

Pre-Physical Therapy from Covenant College is a Campus Bachelor Physical Therapy degree that prepares you for a Healthcare career. In a fallen world in which pain and suffering are an everyday reality for many people, the healing professions provide an avenue of faithful service to the Healer and Redeemer of all things. Covenant provides students called to physical therapy with essential foundations for the heart and mind. We believe that God calls His people to specific areas of service in His Kingdom, and we have seen God faithfully use Covenant to bring together gifts, desires, and opportunities in students' lives that He uses to call them to work as physical therapists . As faculty involved in the pre-PT major, we work to help students discern calling directions before God while working to equip them for the tasks God places before them. Physical therapy offers a challenging people-oriented profession that combines a wide range of social, educational, and technical skills. Training in physical therapy is offered through graduate programs at universities all across the country. Admission to these masters (2 year) and doctoral level (3 year) programs is based on a solid undergraduate preparation, good GRE scores, and experience in physical therapy settings. Competition for entrance into these programs can be stiff and students with less than a 3.5 GPA and mediocre GRE scores will not be encouraged to apply. Physical therapy programs recommend an undergraduate curriculum with a strong background in the liberal arts and extensive general education coursework as well as science coursework that is foundational for specific training in physical therapy. The Health Professions concentration of the Biology major is highly recommended for those interesting in pursuing careers in physical therapy . For more information see the description of the Biology section and the requirements for the health professions concentration. Contact Professor Wenger for further information.
