Clark State College PTA Program Overview

Clark State College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, offered at the Springfield – Leffel Lane campus, prepares students for rewarding careers in healthcare. The program awards an Associate of Applied Science degree and requires 65 credit hours to complete, typically over two years for full-time students. Admission is competitive—only 36 spots are available annually between Springfield and Columbus locations—and applicants must meet prerequisites in reading, writing, math, biology, and observation experience.
The curriculum blends online lectures with hands-on labs held onsite in Springfield or Columbus. Clinical rotations take place throughout southwest Ohio—including Dayton and Cincinnati—with possible placements beyond the region thanks to Clark State’s national partnerships. Core courses include Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Medical Terminology, several PTA Procedures classes, Rehabilitation topics, Psychology electives, Directed Practices (clinical experiences), and seminars focused on trends and special topics.

Graduates are eligible to sit for Ohio’s licensure exam; recent data shows a graduation rate near 74%, ultimate licensure pass rate of about 76%, and a strong employment rate of 100%. Tuition is affordable compared to four-year institutions (current rates can be found on Clark State’s website), making it accessible for local residents from the greater Springfield area—a community known for its vibrant healthcare sector.

Unique features include close faculty mentorships; robust clinical site options across major Ohio cities; emphasis on diversity; lifelong learning values; flexible course formats; plus support services like tutoring and career planning right on campus.
