The Physical Therapist Assistant associate degree program

establishes a foundation in theory, assessment of skills, and

client/patient-centered and evidence-based interventions across

the life span, as well as in documentation and intervention planning.

Thanks to a combination of classroom and hands-on laboratory

coursework, graduates are prepared to pursue career opportunities

in a number of professional areas. Classroom and lab experiences

are enhanced and reinforced through two integrated clinical

education experiences as well as two full-time, terminal clinical

education experiences in a variety of settings.

The final semester of the Physical Therapist Assistant program mandates that students fulfill full-time day internship participation.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the NPTE (National Physical Therapy Exam) for PTAs.
