Ivy Tech Community College – Sellersburg PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Ivy Tech Community College – Sellersburg offers an Associate of Science degree designed to prepare students for a rewarding healthcare career. The program is fully accredited by CAPTE, allowing graduates to sit for the national licensure exam and pursue PTA positions across Indiana and beyond.
Students complete a rigorous curriculum that includes prerequisite courses in anatomy, physiology, composition, and physical science before entering the selective admission process. Once admitted, expect hands-on learning through traditional in-person classes and clinical experiences at local facilities—students must provide their own transportation to sites within 90 minutes of campus. Attendance is mandatory for all clinicals.

To participate in clinical activities, annual criminal background checks, drug screenings, immunization documentation (including TB testing and flu shots), CPR certification (AHA BLS), and physical exams are required. These requirements align with healthcare facility standards.

Beyond tuition—which varies based on residency—additional costs include: technology fees ($75/semester), consumable course fees ($75–$130 per class), uniforms (~$200), membership dues ($90), background/drug screening (~$211), CPR training ($65–$100), licensure exam fees ($600+ upon graduation) and more.

Financial aid options are available; early FAFSA submission is recommended.

Located just north of Louisville in southern Indiana’s Clark County,
Ivy Tech Sellersburg provides access to regional hospitals and clinics ideal for practical experience.
