Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana- East Central PTA Program Overview
The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana–East Central offers an Associate of Science degree designed to prepare students for licensure and a rewarding career in physical therapy. The program requires completion of specific prerequisite courses—such as Anatomy & Physiology I & II, Introduction to PTA, English Composition, and Physical Science—with a grade of “C” or higher before applying through the selective admissions process. The curriculum is hands-on and taught in-person, with mandatory attendance crucial for clinical success.
Students must complete annual drug screenings, criminal background checks, physical exams, immunizations (including flu vaccine), TB testing per CDC guidelines, and maintain current CPR certification from the American Heart Association. These requirements align with standards at local healthcare facilities where students complete their clinical hours; sites are within 90 minutes’ drive from campus.
Beyond tuition ($20/credit hour online course fee plus technology fees), additional expenses include uniforms (~$200), consumable fees ($75–$130/course), membership dues ($90 APTA national dues second year), exam/licensure costs (over $600), background/drug screening (~$211 ), CPR certification ( $65–100+ ), and variable costs for health documentation.
Graduates benefit from CAPTE accreditation — enabling eligibility for licensure —and strong job prospects locally due to high demand across East Central Indiana’s hospitals and clinics. Students are encouraged to apply early each spring; those not accepted may reapply next cycle or explore other health programs with advisor support. Financial aid is available for qualified applicants who meet FAFSA deadlines.
