What Colleges Allow You to Major in Physical Therapy and Minor in Sports Medicine?
Question by Gabby: What colleges allow you to major in Physical Therapy and minor in Sports Medicine?
I live in New York State and I am having trouble finding colleges that meet these terms. I do not wish to further my education out of state. A place near Buffalo would be pleasant but at this point, I am not picky. also, any information regarding these courses would be helpful too, just so I know what I’m getting into!:) Thanks!

I think your best option would be to check out collegeboard.com and use the MatchMaker. If you put in the things you’re looking for in a school (location, size, majors, etc.) it will give you a list of schools that you might be interested in.
I’m not sure if you can minor in sports medicine, since that seems more like something that you would do in med school. Physical therapy requires a masters degree, so the undergrad program is usually pre-physical therapy.
From a collegeboard.com search I did for you, with the search criteria “located in New York”, “4-year school”, and majors of “athletic training / sports medicine” and/or “physical therapy”, there were 8 results. All of the schools offered athletic training / sports medicine, but not physical therapy or pre-physical therapy. Here are the results:
Alfred University (Alfred, NY)
Canisius College (Buffalo, NY)
Dominican College of Blauvelt (Orange, NY)
Hofstra University (Hempstead, NY)
Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY)
Marist College (Poughkeepsie, NY)
State University of New York College at Brockport (Brockport, NY)
State University of New York College at Cortland (Cortland, NY)
Good luck!
