Lorain County Community College PTA Program Overview

Lorain County Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant program is designed to prepare students for a rewarding career helping patients recover mobility and manage pain under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. The Associate of Applied Science degree typically requires about 60-70 credit hours over two years, including both classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experiences at local healthcare facilities throughout Northeast Ohio.
Core courses cover anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation techniques, and patient care skills. LCCC emphasizes practical training with state-of-the-art labs on campus in Elyria—just west of Cleveland—and strong partnerships with area hospitals like Mercy Health and University Hospitals.

Graduates are eligible to take the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) for PTAs—a requirement for licensure in Ohio. According to recent data from LCCC’s PTA program outcomes page, job placement rates remain high thanks to growing demand regionally; entry-level salaries often start around $48k–$54k annually in Northeast Ohio.

The college is known locally for its affordability: tuition costs are among the lowest in the state. Plus, unique initiatives like University Partnership let students seamlessly transfer credits toward advanced degrees if they choose.
