Oklahoma City Community College PTA Program Overview

Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) offers a well-respected Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program through its Division of Health Professions. The program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), ensuring students receive high-quality, industry-recognized training. Upon completion of this two-year, 68-credit hour curriculum, graduates earn an Associate in Applied Science degree and are eligible to sit for the National Board Exam required for licensure as a PTA in Oklahoma.
Admission is competitive—about 20 students are selected each fall from roughly 70 applicants. Students must complete Human Anatomy and Physiology I before beginning the core sequence. Coursework blends classroom instruction with hands-on lab work and clinical experiences at local sites within approximately 30 miles of campus, giving students exposure to real-world healthcare settings like hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, and schools.

Recent OCCC outcomes are impressive: nearly 90% graduation rates over two years; a perfect first-time board exam pass rate for recent classes; and employment rates near or above 97%. Starting salaries range from $54,020–$66,754 locally

Tuition costs vary yearly but remain affordable compared to many programs statewide; financial aid is available. Unique requirements include liability insurance, background checks, drug screening, immunizations—and strong community partnerships provide excellent networking opportunities across metro Oklahoma City’s vibrant health sector.
