[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think that kinesiology program at Michigan stands out. There are different pathways in the program and one of them specifically says it prepares students for PT school or med school.

This is some thing I’m paying attention to because my kid doesn’t know which direction they want to go. Of course, they are interested in the kinesiology programs but I am very worried that it will limit their options down the road. [b]Frankly, I wish schools didn’t have kinesiology as an undergrad since a DPT program is required for physical therapy. I don’t want my kid stuck in the school of education and realize that they need to do additional years because they want to go to med school. I want them to have options [/b]and I feel like staying at arts and sciences at whatever school, with the exception of Michigan, is the safest way to do that. I don’t know how hard it is to transfer between colleges once admitted. Is this something that we need to reach out to each individual school to ask about?[/quote]

Start in arts and sciences. I have friends in DPT and they all did bio or chem majors undergrad. Kinesiology as a major is too limiting. Uva says “careers in medicine” from kinesiology, they mean midlevels: PA, NP, etc. you can go to med school but it is a much easier path from A&S because all the med schools know kinesiology is easier. It is a BS in Education not a real science Bachelors[/quote]
