Lakeland Community College PTA Program Overview

Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio offers a comprehensive Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in healthcare. The PTA program awards an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and can be completed in just five semesters. Students benefit from hands-on learning using the latest equipment in Lakeland’s state-of-the-art Health Technologies Building.
The curriculum blends classroom instruction with clinical experiences, covering topics such as anatomy, patient care skills, therapeutic exercises, and rehabilitation techniques. A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required, along with at least a “C” grade in all courses specific to the major. All students must pass a criminal background check and may need drug testing prior to participating in clinical rotations.

Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Licensure Examination (NPTE), which is required for licensure as a PTA in Ohio and most other states. Lakeland’s PTA graduates work under licensed physical therapists assisting patients across all age groups—from infants to seniors—in hospitals, clinics, schools, or home health settings.

Tuition rates are competitive; detailed cost information is available on Lakeland’s website along with data about graduate success rates and employment outcomes. The program is fully accredited by C.A.P.T.E.(Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education)—ensuring high educational standards—and boasts supportive faculty who help students thrive regardless of life circumstances.
