Lurleen B Wallace Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College (LBWCC), located on the Greenville, Alabama campus, offers a comprehensive pathway to an Associate in Applied Science degree. This “one plus one” program structure requires students to first complete two semesters of general education prerequisites before applying for the technical phase, which consists of four consecutive semesters focused on physical therapy coursework in classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings.
Students gain hands-on experience working with real patients under supervision during their clinical rotations—a vital part of becoming practice-ready. Upon successful completion of all requirements, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs and pursue licensure.

Admission is competitive due to limited class size—only 18 spots per cohort—so early application is encouraged. Applicants must attend a required online information session before submitting their materials between January 8 and March 6 each year.

LBWCC’s PTA program holds accreditation from CAPTE; currently it is on probationary status but remains recognized by industry standards.
Tuition costs are affordable compared to many programs statewide; detailed cost breakdowns are available through LBWCC’s website or financial aid office.

Career prospects for PTAs remain strong locally and nationally according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, making this a high-demand field across Alabama—including Andalusia, Opp, and surrounding rural communities served by LBWCC campuses.
The college also provides student housing nearby (Saints Hall) as well as extensive support services throughout your studies.
