Would I have a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy after 4 years of majoring in PRE-physical therapy, or would I need another 4 years just to get a bachelor’s?

It depends on the structure of the program to which to apply. If the “pre-PT” is offered as a “degree program,” you will complete your BS in “pre-PT” and they apply to graduate school which is typically another three years for about 7 years total…you would not need to complete another BS on top of the “pre-PT” degree…you could go righ to graduate school.
In some schools, especially those who culiminate in a master’s degree or for those where it is a “direct admit program,” “pre-PT” is your undergraduate track and you complete 3 years in the pre-professional phase and then enter then professional phase as a senior. Some schools will award a “health sciences” BS degree after that first year in the program, but you then continue your professional educaiton for another 2 years for 6 years total.

You will have a Bachelors. Another 3-4 years (depending on where you study) will get you your professional doctorate.
Thanks
