Major in Pre-Physical Therapy

The pre-physical therapy program is an academic pathway for students who want to become physical therapists. You’ll choose a major you love — like kinesiology, biological sciences, or psychology — while completing prerequisites for your Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at LSU or beyond. With strong advising and a high PT school acceptance rate, you’ll leave prepared for a career in rehabilitation, sports medicine, pediatrics, orthopedics, community health, and more — all helping people regain movement and live more independently.
