Edison State Community College PTA Program Overview

Edison State Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, offered exclusively at the Troy campus, leads to an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree and is fully accredited by CAPTE. The curriculum totals 65 credit hours over five semesters and includes foundational courses like Anatomy & Physiology I and II, General Statistics, Biomechanics/Kinesiology/Pathology, Modality Intervention in Practice, Neurological Rehabilitation, multiple clinical practicums, and general education requirements.
Students must complete prerequisites—including high school chemistry and physics (or their college equivalents), math assessment or coursework, a minimum GPA of 2.5 in required classes—and document at least 40 hours of observation in two physical therapy settings. Admission is competitive; applicants are encouraged to apply by January 31 for priority consideration.

Tuition costs align with Edison State’s affordable community college rates—an attractive option for residents across Miami County and surrounding areas looking for a cost-effective pathway into healthcare careers. Additional expenses include textbooks, uniforms, background checks/drug screening fees, CPR certification costs and more.

Graduates are prepared to work under licensed physical therapists in hospitals, outpatient clinics or skilled nursing facilities throughout Ohio—a region where demand remains strong due to an aging population. Unique features include small class sizes at the Troy location with personalized faculty support plus robust local partnerships that provide excellent hands-on clinical experiences right here in west-central Ohio.
