Physical therapy involves extensive contact with people, both patients and other healthcare professionals. Employment of physical therapists is expected to grow much faster than average. Job opportunities continue to be good, especially in acute hospital, rehabilitation, and orthopedic settings.A master's degree is not required to apply for the doctor of physical therapy program. However, you must have a baccalaureate degree to begin the program. We do not give preference to specific undergraduate majors. Many students apply for admission with undergraduate majors in exercise physiology, exercise science, sports medicine, athletic training, biology, physical education, health fitness specialist or rehabilitation studies. We advise students to choose a major in an area of their interest and one, which they will be academically successful.
