Prerequisites

Listed below are the prerequisite courses for the PT Program (B or better required for Anatomy & Physiology. C or better required for all others). If you attend YSU, you should take the recommended course numbers listed. If you do not attend YSU, you should select equivalent courses at your institution. Courses at other institutions may not be the same number of semester hours as YSU courses. This is acceptable as long as you take the minimum semester hours listed below. The Admissions Committee will determine the equivalency of transfer courses by level and content; their decision is final. 

6 prerequisite courses must be completed before applying to the program.  All undergraduate degree requirements and prerequisite courses must be completed prior to the start of the program.
