Lane Community College PTA Program Overview

Lane Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program offers a hands-on, career-focused path for those passionate about helping others regain movement and independence. This accredited Associate of Applied Science degree is typically completed in two years, with most classes held in Building 30 on the Eugene campus or at Lane’s partner site at Rogue Community College in White City. The curriculum combines online lectures, interactive lab courses using state-of-the-art equipment like Shuttle Balance systems and standing frames, and three full-time six-week clinical internships. These real-world experiences are vital—many students secure jobs through their internship sites.
The PTA program covers around 90 credit hours, focusing on anatomy, patient care skills, therapeutic exercise techniques, ethics, and more. Graduates are well-prepared to assist licensed physical therapists in various settings: hospitals like PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center nearby; outpatient clinics; schools; skilled nursing facilities; home health agencies; or even as traveling PTAs across Oregon and beyond.

Tuition is competitive for Oregon residents (with financial aid available), making it an accessible choice for locals seeking healthcare careers. Lane supports students with resources such as the “Moving Forward” newsletter to keep them connected throughout their studies.

With strong employment rates regionally—and transfer options to Pacific University or OIT—the Lane PTA program stands out for its community partnerships and commitment to student success while serving diverse populations throughout western Oregon.
