Pre-Professional Kinesiology BS Degree What Career without further ed?

Career Opportunities & Internships
1

I will be graduating next semester with my 4 year Pre-Professional Kinesiology BS Degree.
I have decided I do NOT want to continue pursing a masters or go to medical school. What careers can I purse with JUST my 4-yr Kinesiology degree and taking SOME certifications besides a certified personal trainer?

Unfortunately I’ve just realized I didn’t need a BS to purse PT ASSISTANT, if I wanted to pursue being an Assistant would my 4-yr degree qualify me to take the NPTE exam? or what would be involved to become an Assistant with my 4yr degree?

A friend’s daughter graduated with a BS in Kinesiology a few years ago. She briefly worked as a physical therapy aide but is now working as a personal trainer. She may pursue becoming a strength and conditioning coach.

A lot of your coursework may overlap with PTA requirements. Check this site to see where you stand re: NPTE requirements:
