Physical Therapy

Major

Overview

A wide range of people benefit from physical therapy (PT), from premature infants recovering from surgery to injured athletes striving to return to the playing field.

If you want to master the techniques and exercises that physical therapists use to help people reach their goals, you’ll need to earn a graduate degree. PT is not an undergraduate major, and the studies are intense. But if you want to help others get moving again -- literally -- the rewards can be great.
