Guilford Technical Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC), located in Jamestown, North Carolina, offers a robust pathway into the growing field of physical rehabilitation. This Associate in Applied Science degree is structured as a “1+1” program: students complete general education requirements before entering the core PTA curriculum. The full program typically requires around 70 credit hours and can be completed in two years once admitted.
Students engage in courses covering anatomy, patient care skills, therapeutic exercise, clinical pathology, and hands-on clinical experiences across local healthcare settings—an advantage given GTCC’s proximity to major Triad hospitals and clinics. The PTA program is accredited by CAPTE and boasts strong outcomes: recent graduation rates average 73%, first-time licensure pass rates are 91%, with an ultimate pass rate of 97%. Impressively, employment for graduates reached 100% over the past two years.

Estimated total costs are approximately $7,800 for tuition (in-state $76/credit hour), fees, textbooks, supplies, insurance coverage, background checks, and licensing exams. Financial aid options are available for qualified applicants.

Unique to GTCC is its integration within multiple career pathways—including Health Sciences & Wellness—and its commitment to student support through experienced faculty like Dr. Joey Jeffers. Graduates from this well-respected regional college enjoy excellent job prospects both locally throughout Guilford County and nationally as demand for PTAs continues to rise due to an aging population.
