Pre-Physical Therapy, Transfer Pathway


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs (Alphabetical Listing)

Physical therapy is NOT an academic undergraduate major. It is a professional program of study that students apply for after completing a bachelor’s degree, usually in a scientific field (biology, chemistry, kinesiology, exercise science, etc). Admission is competitive and requires a superb academic record. Requirements for physical therapy schools can vary widely, and students are advised to consult the school of their choice for current requirements.

Pathway Requirements:


The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. Academic pathways offered at Jones College are designed to meet the educational needs and advancement of students who plan to transfer course credit to a university and complete a bachelor’s degree. As part of each academic pathway, students will take courses to meet Jones College’s general education core requirements and electives as determined by the student and his/her faculty advisor. All academic pathways are designed to lead to an Associate of Arts degree.

To streamline the transfer of credit from Jones College to any university in the State of Mississippi, Jones College participates in the articulation agreement between the Mississippi Community College Board and the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning.
