Wallace Community College, established in 1996, is a well-respected and accredited option for students seeking to enter the healthcare field in southeast Alabama. The PTA program leads to an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree and is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). Located on both the Dothan and Sparks campuses, WCC’s PTA program has graduated over 350 professionals who serve throughout Alabama and beyond.
Students complete a rigorous curriculum that combines classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experiences using state-of-the-art facilities like the Health Sciences Simulation Center.
