<p>im a senior right now and applying to colleges. i know for sure that i want a career in the field of SPORTS MEDICINE, but i have no idea what major i should declare in my applicatoins...so i was wondering, what major should i choose as an undergraudate if i want to go on to sports medicine? thanks to anyone who replies</p>
<p>Do you want to be a doctor specializing in sports medicine, or do you want to be a physical therapist? If the former you can major in just about anything but should declare yourself pre-med and plan to take the pre-med courses along with whatever your major requires. If the latter you should enroll in the RPT program at a college that offers one.</p>
<p>A lot of the larger univeristies offer a Sports Medicine major, or somehting similar (such as athletic training). </p>
<p>As far as I know, a career in sports medicine does not require a MD degree.
My sister was planning on going into sports med...</p>
<p>yeah, a career in sports med doesnt mean you have to be a doctor. there are majors such as Sports Medicine, Athletic Training, Exercise Physiology, and stuff like that....you can do a search on college board and that would probably help you out. you can search and see if the colleges you are looking at offer any of those majors.</p>
