Physical Therapist Assistant Program
Application Process
Candidates
Admission to the PTA Program is determined on an
objective, non-discriminatory basis. Decisions to admit students to both the
On-Campus and Online programs are based on the same objective criteria. In
regards to eligibility, students must fulfill all College and Program
admission requirements. Students who have completed the requirements and all
application procedures prior to the deadline will be considered for
admission. If a student is completing prerequisite courses during the
semester prior to the start of the program, they may still submit an
application for consideration. Qualified students are ranked for admission
based on a point system for items on file at the time of the PTA application
deadline.
