Gateway Technical College PTA Program Overview

Gateway Technical College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) associate degree program, offered at the Kenosha Campus, prepares students for rewarding careers helping patients reduce pain and restore function. The 65-credit curriculum is designed in collaboration with local healthcare professionals to meet southeastern Wisconsin’s workforce needs, blending classroom learning with extensive hands-on experience. Students complete over 500 clinical hours across hospitals, clinics, schools, nursing homes, and other settings—ensuring graduates are job-ready.
The program covers key topics such as anatomy and physiology, therapeutic exercise, kinesiology, neuromuscular rehabilitation, patient interventions, diversity studies and professional issues. Gateway also emphasizes real-world skills through lab courses and simulation experiences using up-to-date rehabilitative equipment.

Admission involves a petition process that prioritizes residents of Kenosha County and surrounding areas. Applicants must meet academic requirements—including GPA or test scores—and complete background checks and health clearances due to clinical placement requirements.

Estimated costs total $10,944 for tuition/fees plus $4,964 for books/supplies; financial aid is available. Recent outcomes show strong results: an 81% licensure exam pass rate (2023-24), with all licensed grads employed within a year of graduation.

Gateway maintains transfer agreements—such as the PTA to Doctorate Bridge Program with UW-Parkside—for those seeking further education. With demand for PTAs rising locally and nationally (average salary near $58K), this accredited program offers excellent career prospects right here in Kenosha’s vibrant healthcare community.
