Germanna Community College PTA Program Overview

Germanna Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, based at the Locust Grove Campus in Virginia, prepares students for a rewarding healthcare career supporting licensed physical therapists. The program leads to an Associate of Applied Science Degree and spans five semesters full-time, totaling 68 credit hours. Admission is competitive, with application windows each spring and prerequisite courses including Human Anatomy & Physiology I, Developmental Psychology, English Composition, Orientation, and a Humanities elective.
Students learn through classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experiences throughout Central Virginia—a region known for its growing population and need for skilled healthcare professionals. Courses focus on evidence-based practice across diverse patient populations. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Licensing Examination administered by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT). Germanna’s PTA program boasts strong outcomes: recent two-year averages show an 88% graduation rate at Locust Grove with a 100% employment rate post-licensure.

Estimated costs can be reviewed using Germanna’s Student Financial Fact Sheet; financial aid options are available. Health requirements include immunizations and medical clearance before clinical placements—some facilities may require COVID-19 vaccination.

Unique to this region is Germanna’s partnership with Laurel Ridge Community College to expand access; both locations operate under CAPE accreditation. With high licensure pass rates and robust local job demand—especially in Fredericksburg-area hospitals—the PTA program offers graduates excellent prospects in one of Virginia’s fastest-growing corridors.
