Lane Community College (Exp) PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Lane Community College offers a comprehensive pathway to a rewarding healthcare career, with classes based primarily in Building 30 on the Eugene campus or at the partner location, Rogue Community College in White City. This accredited Associate of Applied Science degree requires approximately two years of study and includes both online lectures and hands-on lab courses using state-of-the-art equipment such as Shuttle Balance systems and biophysical agents.
Students complete three full-time, six-week clinical internships—often leading directly to employment opportunities—thanks to Lane’s extensive partnerships with physical therapy providers across Oregon. The curriculum covers functional movement training, symptom management, therapeutic exercises, and patient self-care techniques. Graduates are well-prepared for diverse careers in hospitals, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities, schools, public health organizations—even as traveling PTAs.

Lane’s PTA program stands out for its focus on real-world experience; you’ll spend your first year attending labs one day per week before progressing into immersive clinical rotations during your second year. Ongoing support comes through resources like the “Moving Forward” newsletter and access to faculty mentorship. Some coursework transfers to Pacific University or Oregon Institute of Technology for those interested in further education.

Tuition is competitive within Oregon community colleges;
financial aid is available for qualifying students.
With high job placement rates locally and beyond—and an ongoing need for skilled PTAs—the outlook after graduation is strong throughout Lane County and statewide.
