Hinds Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Hinds Community College in Jackson, Mississippi, offers a comprehensive two-year Associate of Applied Science degree. Designed for those seeking hands-on roles in healthcare, the curriculum blends classroom instruction with clinical experiences to prepare students for entry-level PTA positions under licensed physical therapists.
Spanning approximately 72 credit hours, the program covers courses such as Anatomy and Physiology I & II (with labs), Kinesiology, Therapeutic Modalities, Medical Conditions and Pathology, Electrotherapy, multiple Clinical Education rotations, and general education requirements like English Composition and College Algebra. Select courses are available online; however, most learning takes place face-to-face at the Nursing Allied Health Center.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE) required for licensure across all states due to CAPTE accreditation. Outcomes consistently show high pass rates on licensing exams and strong job placement within Mississippi’s growing healthcare sector—especially around Jackson’s major medical centers.

Tuition is affordable compared to four-year universities: Hinds CC offers financial aid options including scholarships and payment plans. Each year up to 25 students are admitted through a selective process based on ACT scores, GPA in prerequisite science/math courses, prior degrees or military service.

Unique local advantages include access to diverse clinical sites throughout central Mississippi—a region known for its robust health services industry—and personalized support from experienced faculty committed to student success.
