Pensacola State College PTA Program Overview

Pensacola State College (PSC) offers an Associate in Science (AS) degree in Physical Therapist Assistant, designed to prepare students for a rewarding career helping patients regain movement and manage pain under the supervision of licensed physical therapists. This limited-access program admits up to 20 students each fall, ensuring small class sizes and personalized instruction—a real advantage for hands-on learning.
The PTA program typically requires about two years of study and includes both general education courses and specialized classes such as anatomy, patient care techniques, therapeutic exercise, clinical kinesiology, and multiple supervised clinical experiences at local healthcare facilities. To qualify for admission, applicants need a high school diploma or GED with a minimum GPA of 2.75 and completion of prerequisite coursework with grades of “C” or higher.

Tuition is affordable compared to many other institutions—making PSC especially attractive for local residents—and financial aid options are available. The college’s Allied Health Department provides advising support throughout your studies.

Graduates consistently achieve strong outcomes: recent cohorts have seen licensing exam pass rates above 85% on average over two years, with employment rates at 100%. Pensacola’s growing healthcare sector ensures solid job prospects in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, home health agencies—even the area’s military bases often seek PTAs due to the region’s large veteran population.

Pensacola State College’s accreditation by CAPTE guarantees graduates meet national standards—preparing them not just for Florida licensure but opportunities across the country.
