can i work as a physical therapy assistant with a biology degree?
I graduated with a bachelors of science in biology (without a concentration/emphasis in a particular field of biology) and I am now wondering what else I can do with my degree. I was wondering if I could apply for a job as a physical therapy assistant now? Or will i need to go back to college for a few years or only complete a few more classes to become a physical therapy assistant? What class are most desired? Recommendations for online schools?? Thank you!

In order to be a PTA, you would need to go to school for two years. You would only waive your electives and anatomy and phys. You would be better off going for a DPT. It is three years and you probably have most of the classes. The only thing you may not have is a physics course .
