College of Southern Nevada PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) offers a comprehensive, two-year Associate of Applied Science degree designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in physical therapy. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), this limited-entry program blends general education with specialized PTA coursework, focusing on developing intellectual, technical, and interpersonal skills required for safe and ethical practice.
Students complete hands-on training in therapeutic exercises, modalities such as ultrasound and electrical stimulation, massage techniques, and patient care under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. The curriculum meets licensure requirements across all U.S. states and territories thanks to CAPTE accreditation; graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination.

Recent student outcomes highlight CSN’s strong reputation: an 87% graduation rate over two years (2023-24), first-time exam pass rates at 92%, ultimate pass rates at 100%, and a remarkable 100% employment rate within one year post-graduation among those seeking work. Tuition is affordable compared to private colleges—CSN serves southern Nevada communities from multiple campuses across Las Vegas Valley including Charleston, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin Center and more.

Las Vegas’ growing population means increasing demand for PTAs in hospitals, clinics, sports medicine facilities—and local connections often help students secure clinical placements or jobs after graduation. For prospective students interested in healthcare careers close to home with excellent job prospects upon completion—CSN’s PTA program is a top choice in southern Nevada.
