Physical therapy is a graduate level program in the US, therefore, your undergraduate degree can be from any college in the US. What matters more is how well you complete your prerequisite courses.

However, if you want a list of PT programs in the US, you can go to http://www.apta.org and go to the education programs section. Any school that has maintained consistent accredidation can be considered "a good school."

If you are interested in athletic training (what you are calling athletic first aid), you need to go to an accredited institution. Athletic training is essentially sports medicine. To be an athletic trainer you need to be certified and to take the certification exam you must graduate from a college that has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. At their website you can search for institutions by state (http://caate.net/). If you would like more information on what an athletic trainer does, go to the National Athletic Trainers Association website (www.nata.org).
