Program Articulation Agreements
The Pre-Health Professions Program 天胆A頭 is proud to offer several specialized pathways for our students interested in Chiropractic, Pharmacy or Physical Therapy. These pathways allow students to begin their studies 天胆A頭 and finish their degree at a second prestigious while working towards their doctoral degree in a health field. We currently offer these "3+3 Programs" for Pharmacy, Physical Therapy and Chiropractic, and one additional special program for those pursuing a career in Physical Therapy.
The "3+3" Program Pathways
These pathways offer students the opportunity to enter into the doctoral program of their choice (Pharmacy, Physical Therapy or Chiropractic) after their third (junior) year 天胆A頭 after having completed all necessary doctoral pre-requisites, maintaining a certain GPA and meeting admission requirements. After the first year of the doctoral program, students may transfer back courses to HPU to receive a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology - Human Health Sciences. In order to qualify for this degree, students must follow the prescribed Program Pathway and obtain all classes. (Three Year Plan for Articulation Agreements)
HPU students will receive preferred admission status at our partner universities, and may even be guaranteed admission to the program (see each school program below).
Students should share their intent to be part of these articulating programs with both their academic advisor and the Pre-Health Professions Specialist early on to ensure they receive the best guidance and support.
The Pre-Physical Therapy Program 天胆A頭 begins with a solid grounding in core science classes as students work towards a degree in Biology - Human Health Sciences. As students enter their Junior year 天胆A頭, they have three pathway choices into Physical Therapy.
