Kellogg Community College PTA Program Overview

Kellogg Community College (KCC), located in Battle Creek, Michigan, offers a well-respected Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program that stands out for its history and quality. Established in 1973 as the first PTA program in Michigan—and the sixth nationwide—KCC’s curriculum leads to an Associate of Applied Science degree. The program typically spans about two years and includes approximately 65-70 credit hours combining classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experiences at local healthcare facilities.
Students take courses covering anatomy, therapeutic exercise, patient care techniques, and rehabilitation procedures. KCC’s PTA students gain practical skills through supervised clinical affiliations under licensed physical therapists. Graduates are prepared to sit for the National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination—a requirement for licensure in most states including Michigan.

Recent outcomes highlight the strength of this accredited program: a graduation rate of 66%, an ultimate licensure pass rate of 94%, and a 100% employment rate among job-seeking graduates (2022–2023 data). Tuition is affordable compared to four-year universities; financial aid and scholarships are available.

The career outlook is strong both locally and nationally—the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects much faster-than-average growth for PTAs. Unique aspects include active student engagement through KCC’s PTA Club, which supports community service initiatives across Calhoun County.
