Keiser University – Melbourne PTA Program Overview

Keiser University’s Melbourne campus offers an Associate of Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), designed to prepare students for immediate entry into the healthcare workforce as skilled PTAs under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. The program consists of 74 credit hours, blending rigorous classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experiences at local facilities throughout Brevard County and Central Florida.
Students complete foundational courses like Human Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology, Pathophysiology, and Therapeutic Exercise, alongside general education requirements. Clinical rotations provide real-world exposure to both inpatient and outpatient settings—essential experience given Melbourne’s proximity to major hospitals such as Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center.

Admission requires prerequisite science courses (minimum “B” grade), observation or work experience in physical therapy environments within the last year, background checks, drug screening, and a meeting with the program director. Total estimated cost is approximately $47,182.50 including tuition ($35,784), fees ($3K+), textbooks ($6K), materials/equipment ($100) and licensure/exam costs.

Graduates are prepared for state licensure exams; Keiser publishes strong graduation rates and employment outcomes on its website per CAPTE standards. With demand for PTAs projected to grow faster than average nationally—and especially in Florida’s retirement-friendly Space Coast—the career outlook is promising.

Unique advantages at Keiser include small class sizes fostering close faculty support and access to robust student services on campus near downtown Melbourne—a hub for healthcare innovation along Florida’s Atlantic coast.
