Exercise Science/Pre-Physical Therapy Track

This track is designed to provide courses and experiences necessary to enter most master’s-level physical therapy degree programs. Typically, master’s degree physical therapy programs do not require a specific undergraduate major, but do require a heavy concentration of math and science courses. The Department of Physical Education worked with the IUPUI Department of Physical Therapy to develop this pre-physical therapy track. Completion does not guarantee entry into an M.S.-Physical Therapy program, but does meet typical current entry criteria. Contact the IUPUI Pre-Allied Health program at (317) 274-7238.

Components include:

General Physical Education Track


The general physical education option will lead to a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education degree. It is directed to those who may hold positions in public service, recreation, or other related areas in the profession.
