All physical therapy degrees in the US to my knowledge are now post-graduate degrees. This means that graduating from an accredited program through The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) will earn you either a Masters or Doctoral degree.
Many therapists choose to study undergraduate programs before applying that will align well with a physical therapy degree for example, Exercise and Sports Science, Exercise Physiology and Athletic Training. Furthermore, a person interested in pediatric physical therapy might choose to earn an undergraduate degree in areas such as Human Development or Special Education.
There are tens of programs across the United States and a complete list can be found at:
