The curriculum covers essential courses such as Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Medical Terminology, English Composition, Psychology, Statistics and specialized PTA coursework. To apply for the clinical year (third semester), students must complete prerequisites with a “B” or higher and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0.
