<p>I'm not looking at what is better for jobs right out of undergrad, I mean what is better for preparing for grad school or PT school, etc.</p>
<p>Some options that I would want to do is physical therapy, physicians assistant, occupational therapist, and more.
I would enjoy doing kinesiology more, but people said biology might be a better choice. Opinions?</p>
<p>For a PA, definitely something more meaty such as Bio. But then again (as I know you’re aware), Bio is a harder road to toe. But so is becoming a PA.</p>
<p>My number one choice is physical therapy, would kinesiology be better for that?</p>
<p>I still think your best source for legitimate advice would be PT industry group or certification body websites or just go and visit actua PTs and ask them.</p>
<p>Take a look at the top PT programs in the country. What are they looking for in their admitted students in terms of acadmic background, work experience, etc…</p>
<p>I know Chapman has an excellent PT program, so to give you a general idea, take a look at Chapman University’s website for their prerequisite coursework and requirements. [Chapman</a> University - PT - Prospective Students - Admission](<a href=“Page Not Found | Chapman University”>Page Not Found | Chapman University)</p>
<p>I second the advice above to look at the requirements for the graduate schools in the fields you are considering.
Since some of the science courses for biology and kinesiology would overlap, would it be possible to double major? I would at least take courses in freshman and sophomore years that would allow me flexibility in my choice until I’ve actually taken some kinesiology courses and have committed to that as a career choice.</p>
<p>If you are a California resident you can study PT at Cal State Long Beach or Fresno and pay 1/4 of what Chapman and other private colleges charge. You should definitely try to get into state schools- they have great programs and are going to save you from $50,000 - 100,000. I went to a UC med school and saved over $150,000 in student debt.</p>
