A graduate degree is required to become a physical therapist. Graduate degrees include a Master of Science (M.S.) in Physical Therapy, a Master of Physical Therapy and a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Some programs allow you to earn your bachelor's degree as part of your doctoral program.
The university degree is better. I know of 3 types of PT jobs: A physical therapist (PT), a physical therapist assistant (PTA), and a physical therapy technician. To be a PT, you would need to graduate with a bachelor's from a university and then attend physical therapy school which ranges from 2-3 years.
