Owens Community College (Exp) PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Owens Community College, with campuses in both Toledo and Findlay, Ohio, offers a comprehensive pathway for those passionate about helping others regain mobility and independence. This selective-admission associate degree program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), ensuring graduates are well-prepared for professional practice.
Students complete approximately 65-70 credit hours over two years, combining general education with specialized PTA coursework. Classes cover topics such as anatomy and physiology, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation techniques, patient care skills, and clinical experience in local healthcare settings. Hands-on learning is emphasized through labs and multiple clinical rotations throughout Northwest Ohio’s hospitals, outpatient clinics, sports medicine facilities, nursing homes—even schools—offering valuable real-world exposure.

Upon graduation from Owens’ PTA program—which boasts strong outcomes including high pass rates on the national licensing exam—students are eligible to sit for state licensure. The career outlook remains excellent: PTAs enjoy growing demand locally due to an aging population and increased need for rehabilitative services across Lucas County and beyond.

Owens Community College stands out for its affordable tuition compared to four-year institutions; financial aid options like grants or scholarships further reduce costs. With small class sizes led by experienced faculty—including direct access to Program Chair Sara Burke—the college provides personalized support from application through job placement in this rewarding allied health field.
