Re: Anyone know what the deal is with his major??
There is no undergraduate degree of PT that I know of.
He can complete the academic requirements to gain entry into a PT program "after" GT. Some words were probably left out by someone who didn't understand what he meant. Unless I'm wrong, that's almost like saying he wants to go to Tech because they have a medical degree. GT first, PT school next. Just like GT first, Med School next.
PT is not like nursing school where a student can get two years of college and move on to the program. PT requires a degree (or the course load that may as well be a full degree) just like Med School, and is almost as hard to gain entry as Med School. The academic requirements for PT school are extremely tough.
Probably the question was what major would also contain the nessessary course load for him to get to PT school.
He doesn't want to take a zillion courses for a degree and then find he needs a bunch more on top of his major just to get into a graduate program.
