Because of the sequential nature of the PTA course work, the program requires at least two academic years to complete, including an eight-week summer semester. One suggested sequence is:

I II III (I)
BIOL 201 BIOL 202 PTA 118
EMT 110 Elective PTA 119
ENGL 151 PSYC 220 PTA 120
PSYC 201 PTA 114 PTA 121
PTA 110 PTA 116 PTA 122
PTA 112 PTA 117  

IV V (I)
COMM 101 PTA 223
PTA 218 PTA 224
PTA 219 PTA 225
PTA 220 PTA 226
PTA 221  
SOCI 201  

NOTE: The above sequence is academically challenging. Many students elect to take their general education and Biology 201, 202, and EMT 110 prior to admission into the PTA courses in the program (physical therapy course work). The PTA courses will still require two academic years to complete.

(1) The eight (8) week summer semester and the final sixteen (16) week semester of clinical experiences require the time commitment of a full-time student.

NOTE: Some of the clinical sites used for student placements during the second year of the Physical Therapist Assistant Program are located at considerable distance from the college. A car will definitely be needed for transportation. In some cases students may need/choose to move (live) closer to their assigned clinical sites for six-week periods, especially during the final spring semester of the program.

Grades of “C” or better are required in all general education, and Physical Therapist Assistant Major PTA courses in the program to qualify a student for graduation.

NOTE: For students needing to complete a program on a part-time basis, the Physical Therapist Assistant Program offers a three-year PTA track option to a LIMITED number of students each year. For further information about this option, contact the program coordinator.
