• Answer:

  You should major in whatever plan of study you would like to be studying for 4 yrs without getting burned out. For PT school, you just need algebra knowledge (not much math...yay!) And for PT you can major in anything you like; the advantages of majoring in kines or bio are that you have a good background for the courses taken in PT school, but you are going to take the necessary science courses nonetheless because PT schools have pre-requisites. Think of it this way: are you going to want to study the same thing twice (or even 3x), or would you prefer to have a varied knowledge base that is beyond the musculoskeletal/neurological/integumenta... system? College is about having fun as well, so study something you like.
