Western Iowa Tech Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City offers a comprehensive path to an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. Accredited by CAPTE, the 72.5-credit hour curriculum combines classroom learning with hands-on clinical experiences, preparing students to assist physical therapists in treating patients recovering from injury or illness.
Students take courses such as anatomy and physiology, therapeutic exercise, patient care techniques, and participate in supervised clinical practicums throughout local healthcare facilities—giving them valuable real-world experience right here in Northwest Iowa. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTA licensure not only in Iowa but across all U.S. states and territories.

The estimated total cost is about $15,442 for Iowa residents ($15,877 out-of-state), plus fees and living expenses; financial aid options like the Iowa Last-Dollar Scholarship may be available.

Unique to WITCC is its student-centered approach—offering robust support services including tutoring, career counseling, on-campus housing near Stone Avenue, and connections with regional employers through their Health Solutions division.
