Marjorie Said:

Would majoring in Biology b good if u want to complete physical therapy prerequisites ?

We Answered:

You can major in anything as long as you take the pre reqs. I am not sure where you got your numbers. If you go to a 3+3 program, the school will determine what your bachelors is in. It maybe natural science, exercise science, health science. If you go to a BS +3 degree anything will do.

Here is the links for school and requirements

Physical therapy undergrad/prerequisites?

We Answered:

The advantage of completing your undergrad and graduate degree in the same setting is that you can be sure that your courses will transfer. A collegue of mine was not accepted at one school because he had "developmental psychology" instead of "lifespan psychology" at another school where he completed his undergraduate degree.

Otherwise, no, there is no real advantage...some schools do favor their own students, but not necessarily.

What are the prerequisites to become a Physical Therapy Assistant?

We Answered:

Here is a link to a local PTA program. Basically, it requires a high school diploma and most often a year of high school biology and physics with a minimum grade of a C...yet this may vary between programs. If you have been foreign educated, you may be required to take the English proficiency exam.
