Keiser University – Ft Lauderdale PTA Program Overview

Keiser University’s Ft. Lauderdale campus offers an Associate of Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), designed to prepare students for rewarding careers as licensed healthcare professionals under the supervision of physical therapists. The PTA program requires completion of 74 credit hours, including rigorous coursework and hands-on clinical experiences. Students take foundational courses like Human Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, Therapeutic Exercise, Pathophysiology, Patient Care Procedures, and two intensive Clinical Experience rotations.
To enter the core program, applicants must complete prerequisites with strong grades (including anatomy courses with a “B” or higher) and document at least 10 hours observing both inpatient and outpatient physical therapy settings within a year before starting. Total estimated cost for the entire program is approximately $47,182—including tuition ($35,784), fees, textbooks/materials (~$6,000), licensure exam costs, background checks/drug screening expenses—making financial planning essential.

Graduates are well-prepared for Florida state licensure exams and entry-level employment in hospitals or clinics throughout South Florida’s vibrant healthcare sector. Keiser emphasizes small class sizes and personalized instruction—a big plus given Fort Lauderdale’s diverse community needs—and maintains CAPTE accreditation for quality assurance. With local demand high due to an aging population and active lifestyles near beaches/parks like Hugh Taylor Birch State Park or Las Olas Boulevard recreation spots nearby campus life is dynamic too! Career prospects remain bright: PTAs are consistently in demand across Broward County hospitals and rehabilitation centers.
