<p>I know I will have to get my Doctoral Degree in Physical Therapy and specialize in Sports Medicine but what would i major in undergraduate if the school does not have a pre-professional degree in physical therapy (like OSU)? Are there any other colleges like OSU that have this pre-professional program and is Howard University one of them because that is my dream school? What would i major in if not? Also if i get a DPTSM can i work in a high school or college as the trainer or sports medicine person?</p>
<p>Howard has an undergraduate program in Health Science with emphasis in Health Management and PrePhysical Therapy. You can major in any field, however, as long as you complete the pre-PT requirements. You can view to admissions requirements for Howard’s DPT program here: [Admissions:</a> Physical Therapy](<a href=“http://www.cpnahs.howard.edu/AHS/Pt/admission.html]Admissions:”>http://www.cpnahs.howard.edu/AHS/Pt/admission.html)</p>
<p>Since admission to DPT programs is quite competitive, make sure you meet the admission requirements for several programs that interest you. Many pre-PT students major in kinesiology, but other bioscience majors (e.g., physiology, general biology, neuroscience) would be appropriate as long as you meet the pre-PT requirements. Other possible majors could include human development, psychology, or physical/biological anthropology. You can find out about the education and admission requirements at the APTA website: [Physical</a> Therapist (PT) Education](<a href=“http://www.apta.org/PTEducation/]Physical”>http://www.apta.org/PTEducation/)</p>
