Mott Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan, prepares students for entry-level roles assisting licensed physical therapists. This rigorous two-year associate degree program accepts up to 24 students annually and emphasizes hands-on clinical experience alongside classroom learning. Students complete a blend of general education and specialized courses—such as anatomy, patient care skills, and therapeutic interventions—with most semesters requiring 14-21 hours per week on campus. Clinical rotations begin in the first year’s spring session and culminate with an intensive eight-week placement during the second year.
Admission is competitive; applicants must demonstrate reading comprehension, meet math prerequisites, complete at least eight hours of job shadowing or observation in a PT setting, attend orientation sessions, and submit supplemental applications. Tuition for local residents averages about $7,500–$8,400 per year plus lab fees; out-of-district tuition is higher. Additional costs include textbooks ($250–$450/term), equipment like goniometers and proper footwear, background checks ($70–80), health exams (up to $200), travel expenses for clinicals—which may be up to 75 minutes away—and state licensure application fees.

Graduates are prepared not only for direct patient care but also documentation duties and collaboration with diverse healthcare teams. The career outlook remains strong across Michigan thanks to growing demand in hospitals, clinics, rehab centers—even within Genesee County’s extensive medical community served by Mott graduates. Career exploration tools help students map pathways aligned with their interests throughout this respected local program.
