Less Time Commuting, More Time Practicing

In our Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) degree program, you are not on campus every day or every week. Instead, our concentrated PTA program utilizes informative online courses and innovative, simplified on-campus lab schedules to help you get on the path to this rewarding field faster—in as few as 18 months.1 Online courses consist of organized virtual lectures and activities, giving you the flexibility to work toward your degree without disrupting your busy schedule.

The innovative on-campus lab format features concentrated full-day labs several days in a row, meaning less time commuting and more time practicing in-demand PTA skills. Our immersive labs include focused, uninterrupted skill development and supervised practice with our highly skilled faculty. The PTA program also incorporates clinical site training to give you firsthand experience of the physical therapy industry at a healthcare facility.

Our Physical Therapist Assistant courses provide hands-on experience in patient assessment, therapeutic management procedures, communication and critical thinking that allows you to become a key player alongside physical therapists and help improve the lives of your patients. The PTA degree program is also available with Flex Choice®, which allows you to combine traditional online coursework and self-directed assessments—a more affordable way to receive credit for what you already know.
