Holmes Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Technology program at Holmes Community College is designed to equip students with the skills needed to assist physical therapists in a variety of healthcare settings. The program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree and begins each spring semester. Students complete a curriculum that blends classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory experience, and clinical education across local Mississippi healthcare facilities.
Typically requiring around 70 credit hours, coursework covers topics such as anatomy and physiology, therapeutic modalities, kinesiology, rehabilitation techniques, and patient care ethics. Graduates are prepared for entry-level PTA positions upon passing the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) for PTAs.

Holmes CC’s PTA program stands out due to its strong ties with regional clinics—offering students valuable real-world training—and its commitment to community health improvement in central Mississippi. Tuition remains affordable compared to four-year institutions; financial aid is available for qualifying students. As of 2024-2025, in-district tuition averages about $1,600 per semester plus fees and supplies.

Career prospects are excellent: demand for PTAs continues rising nationwide and especially throughout Mississippi due to aging populations and increased focus on rehabilitative care. The program maintains accreditation through CAPTE (Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education), ensuring high educational standards.

Located conveniently near Jackson—with campuses in Goodman, Grenada, Ridgeland & Attala—Holmes offers small class sizes and individualized support from experienced faculty dedicated to student success both academically and professionally.
