Fullfilling Physical Therapy School Pre-Requisites at Duke*Disclaimer 1: Not all PT schools have all of these courses as pre-requisites, and every PT school’s pre-reqs are slightly different. When selecting courses, please look at the pre-reqs for the specific PT schools in which you are interested in applying.*Disclaimer 2: If you have a specific question about whether or not a class and/or AP credit will fulfill a PT school’s pre-req, my best advice is to contact the admissions department of the PT school to which you are applying with the course synopsis and get the answer from them in writing so that you can attach that to your application.*Disclaimer 3: Courses that are not offered Fall 2012 may be listed by their old course numbers.Prerequisite: StatisticsRecommended:STA 30 (STA 10) Basic Statistics and Quantitative Literacy- stat placement exam requiredSTA 102 Introductory Biostatistics- stat placement exam requiredSTA 101 Data Analysis and Statistical Inference- stat placement exam requiredSTA 111 (STA 103) Probability and Statistical Inference- stat placement exam requiredEVANTH 161 Biometry- offered spring semester onlyPSY 201 (PSY 117) Introduction to Statistical Methods in PsychologyPrerequisite:ChemistryRecommended:CHEM 101DL (CHEM 31L) Core Concepts in ChemistryCHEM 210DL (CHEM 32L) Mod App of Chem Prin- CHEM 101DL (31L) pre-reqOther considerations: CHEM 99D (CHEM 20D) Intro Chemistry & Chemical Problem Solving- NO LABCHEM 91 (CHEM 83) Chemistry, Technology, and Society- NO LABCHEM 110 DL (CHEM 43L) Honors Chem: Core Concepts in Context- fall onlyCHEM 201DL (CHEM 151L) Organic Chemistry- CHEM 101DL (31L) pre-reqNotes: Check to see if PT school requires anic chemistry is not required but may strengthen an application.

All of Duke’s courses are calculus-based.Prerequisite: BiologyRecommended:BIOLOGY 201L (BIO 101L) Gateway to Biology: Molecular Biology- CHEM 101DL (31L) pre-reqBIOLOGY 202L (BIOLOGY 102L) Gateway to Biology: Genetics and EvolutionOther considerations:NEUROSCI 101/PSY 106 (PSY 101RE) Biological Bases of Behavior: Introduction and SurveyPrerequisite:Human Anatomy and PhysiologyRecommended:EVANTH 333L (EVANTH 133L) The Human Body- EVANTH 101 (93) pre-reqEVANTH 155 Human Anatomy & Physiology- spring only but not every springOther considerations:BIOLOGY 329D (BIOLOGY 151L) Principles of Animal PhysiologyCELL BIO 503 (CELL BIO 203) Intro to Physiology- grad school class not offered every semesterNotes:Most schools require both Anatomy and Physiology and if taken as a combined course, then 2 semesters worth of credits are required. Check to see if PT schools require labs with these courses. This has traditionally been the hardest pre-req to fulfill as a Duke undergrad. EVANTH 155 was offered for the first time in Spring 2011. It is expected that this class will be offered during Summer Session I in 2013, 2014, and 2015. It may be offered with a lab the next time that it is available. Other common ways that Duke undergrads/alums have fulfilled these requirements include taking courses at UNC/NCCU during the semester/summer.
