Will352ns Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Interpretive Dance, Basket Weaving, Business Admin.......... Seriously, the undergrad doesn't make that much of a difference at the majority of programs. Getting a degree that includes the pre-recs is always a good way to go; two birds, one stone. Getting a degree that you can get fairly quick and then finishing pre-recs while you aquire some HCE is a good way to go as well. Search the site, you will find many answers similar to mine. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterallsummer Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 If you like science, go Biology. Hits all prereqs and many extra helpful ones (genetics, biochemistry, etc). If you really want to avoid extra science courses and have an interest in something like art or writing or computers or whatever, major in that and just make sure you get all electives. Psychology is also a decent way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmorey19j77r Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 So basically any bs would go. But to make sure I got all of the pre-recs before applying for the master in pa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. I was going to say aerospace engineering but in reality, Will has the right answer in my opinion. The Rocket Science answer was more of a snarky reply. Yes, just get the pre reqs done and done well. If you can take an easier degree path and work in the health sciences part time to gain pt care experience it may serve you better than taking a crushing degree path and get just "ok" grades and have no experience.

winterallsummer Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Also you can get a BA not a BS if you want. I got my BA in biology and it didn't hinder me at all (I did it to avoid some calculus classes and get more electives). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkimee Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I agree with everyone else that it doesnt matter what you major in as long as you handle the pre-reqs etc. However, you should look into the schools that you want to go to because I know some schools require you to have a bs in a health related field. Here is an example: http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/fnppa/req-edu-require.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
