Keiser University – Lakeland PTA Program Overview

Keiser University’s Lakeland campus offers an Associate of Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), designed to prepare students for rewarding careers as licensed healthcare professionals working under the supervision of a physical therapist. The program requires completion of 74 credit hours, including foundational science courses like Human Anatomy and Physiology, as well as specialized PTA coursework such as Kinesiology, Therapeutic Exercise, Rehabilitation, and two clinical experiences that provide hands-on learning in real-world settings.
Students must complete prerequisites with strong academic performance—earning at least a “B” in anatomy-related courses—and participate in observation or work experience both in inpatient and outpatient physical therapy environments prior to entering core classes. Tuition for the entire PTA major is estimated at $35,784 with total program costs around $47,182 when fees and materials are included.

Graduates from Keiser’s Lakeland PTA program are prepared to sit for state licensure exams—a requirement for practice—and benefit from small class sizes and experienced faculty who emphasize communication skills, ethical standards, evidence-based practice, and lifelong professional growth. The local Polk County area boasts numerous rehabilitation centers and hospitals offering potential employment opportunities after graduation; Florida overall projects strong demand for PTAs due to its aging population.

Unique among regional options is Keiser’s student-focused approach: flexible scheduling options support diverse learners while on-campus resources foster success. Outcomes data—including licensure pass rates—are published transparently online so prospective students can make informed choices about their future career path.
