Is Athletic Training A Good Undergraduate Degree For Someone Who Wants To Be A Physical Therapist?
Feb 11
Honestly, I am iffy about the Physical Therapy because of the added school time I will need. BUT with Athletic Training I’ll be doing so many cool things like I’d be doing as a PT, but with only 4 years of school. Either way. If I wanted to do the DPT, I could just apply to graduate school.
I want to become an athletic trainer. but I know that they dont get paid very much and the hours are long. I also know that a lot of athletic trainers end up looking for a different job. So I have been looking for a back up and I was wondering if I could get my bachelors degree in athletic training, then continue on to grad school get a degree in physical therapy in case I end up wanting to switch jobs.
My B.A. in English isnt medical-related. But I have heard that it does not matter what your B.A. is in, you get your Masters in physical therapy. Is this true? How about a PT assistant? Seperate training for people w/an undergraduate degree as well? Length of time to get certified for that? Job market should be wide open and plentiful w/baby boomers becoming senior citizens right?
I just finished my first year of college with a major of Athletic Training. I have always wanted to be a physical therapist but I did not know what major to choose because it is only offered as a masters. Is Athletic Training a good major to choose and will it be easy for me to get my pre-requisites for the PT school?
I am currently planning on majoring in Athletic Training in college, and I was wondering if that would be a good major for getting me into a master’s physical therapy program?
If not athletic training, what other majors would be good to prepare me for a career in physical therapy??
Thanks!
I want to become an Athletic Trainer or a physical therapist. Can i do so from The University of Oklahoma? If not where can i go in Oklahoma or Texas?
I am thinking about switching job fields and want to work on being a physical therapist. I have an associates degree in Graphic Design but want to use that with being a physical therapist. Kind of like an art therapist. But I want to find a job that can train me as well as go to school for it. Is there something out there like that?
