Northeast Wisconsin Technical College PTA Program Overview

Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) offers a comprehensive Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) associate degree program designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in healthcare. Located primarily at the Green Bay and Marinette campuses, NWTC’s PTA program is well-regarded throughout Northeast Wisconsin for its hands-on learning, strong clinical partnerships, and supportive faculty.
This 71-credit curriculum spans four semesters plus two summer sessions. Coursework blends foundational sciences like General Anatomy & Physiology with specialized classes such as Applied Kinesiology, Therapeutic Exercise, Patient Interventions, Neuro Rehabilitation Principles, and multiple clinical practice experiences in local healthcare settings. Students must maintain a “C” or higher in all core courses—and a “B” or better in Anatomy & Physiology—to progress.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination (NPTE), required for licensure by the State of Wisconsin. NWTC boasts an 88% graduate employment rate within six months—38% directly as PTAs—with opportunities across hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, schools, and sports facilities.

Estimated costs include tuition (eligible for financial aid), books/supplies, uniforms for clinicals (which may require travel around Northeast WI), immunizations/background checks per state law requirements.

Unique aspects of NWTC’s PTA program include CAPTE accreditation ensuring educational quality; potential study abroad options; robust transfer agreements with UW System universities; and deep ties to regional employers serving communities from Green Bay to Door County. The college emphasizes career development resources so graduates can thrive locally or beyond.
