Itawamba Community College PTA Program Overview

Itawamba Community College (ICC), located in northeast Mississippi with campuses in Fulton, Tupelo, and Belden, offers a comprehensive Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program through its School of Health Science. The PTA program leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree and is designed to prepare students for immediate employment as skilled healthcare professionals.
The curriculum typically spans two years and consists of both classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experience at local healthcare facilities. Students can expect to complete around 70 credit hours, covering subjects such as anatomy and physiology, therapeutic exercise, patient care techniques, kinesiology, rehabilitation procedures, and professional ethics. Clinical rotations are integral to the program—providing real-world practice throughout North Mississippi’s diverse medical settings.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) for PTAs—a necessary step toward licensure. ICC boasts strong outcomes: high graduation rates and job placement success thanks to close relationships with area employers like North Mississippi Medical Center.

Tuition at ICC remains affordable compared to four-year institutions; financial aid and scholarships are available. Unique features include small class sizes for personalized instruction plus access to student services like career counseling on all campuses.

With the ongoing demand for physical therapist assistants nationwide—and especially in growing communities like Tupelo—ICC’s PTA graduates enjoy excellent career prospects locally or beyond.
Applications are due by May 1 each year; COVID-19 vaccine policies may apply during clinical placements.
