Some general education requirements and electives do not necessarily have to be taken in this sequence. Please meet with an advisor for scheduling and four-year plan assistance.

Students should look at the requirements for the schools they plan to apply to so a compatible 4-year plan can be devised. Additionally, students should speak to a pre-health advisor to devise a curriculum that will make them a strong applicant for MATR school.

Most MATR schools require the pre-requisites to be completed by time of application. Therefore, the requirements for each school should be completed by fall semester of senior year.

In addition to coursework, MATR schools require 50 hours of documented observation in a clinical setting before beginning the MATR program.
