Rasmussen University Physical Therapist Assistant Program Effectiveness Data

Physical Therapist Assistant Associate's Degree

The Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) requires programs to makes available program effectiveness data to the general public on an annual basis, including graduation rate, first-time exam pass rate, ultimate licensure exam pass rate and employment rate, all averaged over the most recent two years.

Graduation Rates are based on the percentage of students who are matriculated in the first course in the professional program after the drop/add period and completed the program within 150% of program length. Students who did not complete the program due to issues that are not related to academic or clinical deficits (such as active military duty, health, family issues, disability or death) were removed from the graduation rate calculation.
Licensure exam rates are based on the percentage of graduates who take and successfully pass the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE). Licensure examination pass rates are consistent with the information published by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy.
One-Year Employment Rates are based on the percentage of graduates who sought employment and were employed as PTAs (full-time or part-time) within one year of graduation. Ultimate Employment Rates are based on the percentage of graduates who sought employment and were employed as PTAs (full-time or part-time) since graduating.

Information for the Hennepin/Anoka, Minnesota program as of September 26, 2022, is included below. Annualized program effectiveness data is not yet available for the Physical Therapist Assistant Program in Ocala, Florida. Rates are updated on this website bi-annually in April and September, at a minimum.
