Carroll Community College PTA Program Overview

Carroll Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Associate of Applied Science program, located in Westminster, Maryland, is a rigorous and hands-on pathway for those seeking to enter this fast-growing healthcare field. The 69-credit program combines classroom instruction with clinical experiences in Carroll’s state-of-the-art labs—including access to an on-site cadaver lab—and early patient interaction through the college’s own clinic. All faculty are practicing clinicians who bring real-world expertise directly into the classroom.
Students complete foundational courses like anatomy and physiology before progressing into specialized PTA coursework covering manual therapy techniques, neuroanatomy, modalities, pathology, and interventions for special populations. A strong emphasis is placed on evidence-based practice and critical thinking skills.

The program boasts CAPTE accreditation and outstanding outcomes: over the past five years, 100% of graduates seeking employment were working as PTAs within six months—many receive job offers from their clinical sites prior to graduation. Upon completion, students are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination; licensure opens doors across Maryland and beyond.

Estimated tuition costs remain affordable compared to four-year institutions—a key benefit for local residents or commuters from surrounding counties. Carroll’s small class sizes ensure one-on-one faculty support throughout your studies. With career opportunities expanding in hospitals, rehab centers, schools and sports facilities locally and nationwide—especially given Central Maryland’s aging population—the PTA degree at Carroll sets graduates up for long-term success in a rewarding profession right here at home.
