Degrees in things like exercise science, anatomy or sports med would be most beneficial if trying to become a DPT and would also help set a good pathway for the pre-requisites needed to get a doctorate degree. Just classes in general though, most DPT programs have pre-reqs of sciences like biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology, which usually need to be taken before being accepted.

Hi Dexter,
Many colleges offer programs specific to physical therapy, usually titled something like "Sports Medicine". I recommend looking into programs at schools that interest you. Sometimes they have listings of classes that you're required to take or can take as an elective, which should be a good starting point.
