This is the web site for the Physical Therapist Assistant
(PTA) Program at Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek, Michigan. Our program opened in 1971 with the first graduating class entering the clinical community in 1973.
We are very proud of the fact that we were one of the first programs in the country and the first in Michigan. Each year we welcome students from around the state and consistently from other areas of the country to take part in our two-year (five semester) program that culminates in an Associate of Applied Science degree.
We are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Physical Therapy Education. Information on our acceptance and graduation rates and on pass rates of program graduates on licensing examinations is posted on the web site for the American Physical Therapy Association at www.apta.org.
Please take time to look through our web site for information on admissions, to view photographs of the activities that students take part in throughout the curriculum, and generally to become familiar with our program.
