Blinn College PTA Program Overview

Blinn College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, located at the innovative RELLIS Campus in Bryan, Texas, offers a comprehensive pathway for those seeking to enter this rewarding healthcare field. The program awards an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree after students complete approximately 63 semester hours. Coursework blends foundational general education classes—such as anatomy and physiology, psychology, medical terminology, and a humanities elective—with specialized physical therapy instruction.
Students receive hands-on training in Blinn’s state-of-the-art Physical Therapy Lab and through clinical rotations at local hospitals, rehab centers, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies—even school systems throughout the Brazos Valley region. Core PTA courses cover therapeutic exercises; rehabilitation techniques; patient education; modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation; and instruction on assistive devices including braces or prosthetics.

Admission is competitive: only 25 students are accepted each fall. A minimum grade of 75 in all major courses and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 are required for progression. Tuition remains affordable compared to many four-year institutions—a hallmark of Blinn—and scholarships may be available.

The outcomes speak for themselves: recent cohorts boast high graduation rates and exceptional pass rates on the national licensure exam. Most graduates secure employment within six months—often sooner—benefiting from strong ties with area employers across Bryan-College Station’s growing healthcare sector. Prospective students should attend an information session early due to limited seats and rigorous entry requirements.
