Martin Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Martin Community College in Williamston, NC offers an Associate in Applied Science degree (A.A.S.) designed to prepare students for rewarding careers under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. The curriculum covers essential topics such as human anatomy and physiology, disease processes, therapeutic exercise techniques, and patient care across all age groups. Students complete both classroom instruction—enhanced by state-of-the-art equipment like computerized treadmills and ultrasound machines—and hands-on clinical education at local hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities.
This accredited program typically requires around 70 credit hours over two years. Admission is competitive; applicants are evaluated based on interviews, academic performance (especially in science courses), observation hours with PTs or athletic trainers, educational background, and character references. Clinical externships require background checks and drug screenings.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the North Carolina Board of Physical Therapy Examiners’ licensure exam. Employment prospects remain strong locally and statewide—in general hospitals such as Vidant Bertie Hospital nearby Windsor or rehabilitation centers serving rural eastern North Carolina communities.

Estimated costs—including tuition, fees, textbooks—are detailed on MCC’s PTA Program Financial Fact Sheet available online or through advising staff. Unique to Martin CC is its commitment to small class sizes and personalized support within a diverse student body. The college maintains high graduation rates and strives for excellence in job placement outcomes among PTA graduates throughout the region.
