Scheduling

Hey everyone,

I just recently transferred to the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) as an upcoming junior. I am currently a Kinesiology Major on a Pre-PT track and I'm posting here, with some opinions on scheduling. It turns out that it's a MUST that you need to take resistance training and kinesiology & nutrition seminar in your first semester, which later then makes it very difficult to choose any other kinesiology class, due to scheduling time constraints (don't we all just hate that error..). Basically, I'm asking because it's either I choose the following classes..

Techniques & Principles in Resistance Training (2 Hours - Mandatory)
Kinesiology & Nutrition Seminar (2 Hours - Mandatory)
Abnormal Psych (3 Hours)
Musculoskeletal Anatomy (3 Hours)
Disability in American Film (3 Hours - Due to my interest in perhaps picking up a Human Disability & Human Development Minor)

My other schedule I was looking into consists of taking Physics I, due to us pre-PT students being required. Thing is, by these descriptions.. Do these Physics classes count as the right ones as pre-requisite courses? I'm just a little worried because I've taken General College Chem I and II and General College Bio I and II, yet at UIC.. There is either Introductory Physics I and II and also General Physics I and II, which is calculus based.

By the descriptions that are below, do these "Introductory Physics I and II" fill the requirement? I am taking Calculus I right now in the summer, but just making sure.

105 Introductory Physics I - Lecture
4 hours. A non-calculus course. One-dimensional and two-dimensional kinematics; Newton's laws; momentum; work and energy; torque and angular momentum; rotational dynamics; universal gravitation; oscillations; waves; physical optics; special relativity. Credit is not given for PHYS 105 if the student has credit in PHYS 141. Students may obtain one additional hour of credit by concurrently registering in PHYS 104. Prerequisite(s): High school algebra and trigonometry. Natural World - No Lab course.

106 Introductory Physics I - Laboratory
1 hours. One-dimensional and two-dimensional kinematics; Newton's laws; momentum; work and energy; torque and angular momentum; rotational dynamics; universal gravitation; oscillations; waves; physical optics; special relativity. Credit is not given for PHYS 106 if the student has credit for PHYS 141. Laboratory course. Prerequisite(s): High school algebra and trigonometry. Natural World - With Lab course.

107 Introductory Physics II - Lecture
4 hours. Non-calculus course. Electrostatics; electric current; magnetism; Faraday's law; Maxwell's relations; electromagnetic radiation; introduction to quantum mechanics; the Heisenberg uncertainty principle; Bohr model; nuclear physics; particle physics. Credit is not given for PHYS 107 if the student has credit for PHYS 142. Prerequisite(s): Grade of C or better in PHYS 105 and Grade of C or better in PHYS 106. Natural World - No Lab course.

108 Introductory Physics II - Laboratory
1 hours. Electrostatic; electric current; magnetism; Faraday's law; Maxwell's relations; electromagnetic radiation; optics, introduction to quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle; Bohr model; nuclear physics; particle physics. Credit is not given for PHYS 108 if the student has credit for PHYS 142. Prerequisite(s): Grade of C or better in PHYS 105 and Grade of C or better in PHYS 106. Natural World - With Lab course.

Thank you for anyone that responds! I appreciate it.

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking in your first paragraph, however, both of those physics courses are sufficient for the PT prereq. As far as psych goes, a lot of schools are going to be looking for an intro psych course along with developmental psych, so I would suggest the developmental course over abnormal.

Those physics courses look right for most PT schools, but you should double check this with some PT programs just to make sure, before taking the courses. Most programs are happy to answer this type of question.

I'm also not sure what you're asking in the first part, remember that you'll need to take a general anatomy course with lab for the PT school prerequisite, not just musculoskeletal anatomy.

Thank you to the both of you. I appreciate the responses and I will be happy to check with the PT programs. About the first part, I'm not really asking a question. Sorry for the confusion. I'm basically asking about two schedules, the one I had posted, or to pick up physics but before I were to decide on the schedule with physics, I needed to know if it's the right one to take. Thank you once more.
