College Majors Help

Yes, kinesiology is the science of human movement.

To become a physical therapist you will have to go to grad school (rankings are here:

).

Several majors will get you into PT school - should do well in biology, anatomy, physiology, and math. Related volunteer experience is sometimes a requirement and always a plus...

you need a doctorate to be a physical therapist

Why are you going to university to be a strength and conditioning coach?

yeah, kinesiology has to do with movement of the body

I was a "MAKE MOVES" major and it worked out pretty well for me. People always ask me what is this major b/c I created myself. I told them once you earn this degree you make moves baby. Rmember it is not until everything is lost until you are truly free.

I would check out Capella University or the University of Phoenix. Based on how poorly you write, these might be the only schools that will accept you.

I heard that Pitt is good for Physical therapy

USC

Save yourself the pain and major is something technical...engineering, math or a science...don't go into business, criminal justice or some horrible liberal arts degree. No matter how "cool" those degrees sound, they are virtually useless at the undergraduate level. I just got my degree in business and I feel like I wasted 5 years...

Technically speaking, MAKE MOVES is a technical major. Its all about having the right tennique. Any who, I'm off to hollywood for my honorary dinner, TECHxt me if u have any questions about TECHnickel majors. DON T SWEAT THE techNIQUE. BOO YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

you need to be good at science

go to notre dame

I don't think I have the credentials for The Cup.

Also, something to consider: a generally much lower ranked school may be first-rate in a particular major, e.g., physical therapy. However, suppose you go to such a school to major in that, and then you change your mind. As a general maxim, always try to go to the school that is by some standard overall considered to be very good (for an undergraduate degree; grad school is an entirely different matter).

I majored in something similar and realized in my third year it wouldn't get me a job so I started taking science classes. I ended up graduating anyway though with my original major and it hasn't gotten me anything useful. I'm thinking of going back to school to put those science classes to use. Maybe I'll go to pharmacy school. I would've been better off if I'd studied nursing or engineering like a few of my other runner friends. I probably should have gotten a teaching endorsement with my degree. The only useful business major is accounting. Everything else in the undergraduate business schools is mostly bullshit and you better have an in or enjoy and be good at sales.

syracuse

USC is the top school in the country for PT...

My Alma Mater Ithaca College is ranked 3rd in the country (far as I know)... So def. check them out, and they are also well known for Athletic Training and Exercise Science which sounds to me like what you're looking for.

Other well respected programs are Quinnipiac, Northeastern, Syracuse... all depends on where you're from, I just know the big ones from the East Coast and the fact that USC has been ranked number 1

USC or Pitt
