Your future as a physical therapist starts with Iowa State’s Kinesiology and Health program. A dedicated four-year plan provides your prerequisites for Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs. You’ll learn how the body moves, functions, and adapts by gaining knowledge in biomechanics, motor control, and exercise physiology. Practice what you learn in the classroom in our hands-on lab spaces. You can even work alongside faculty advancing wellness through health-related research.
