Quincy College (Exp) PTA Program Overview

Quincy College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program offers an Associate of Science degree designed to prepare students for licensure and entry-level practice as a PTA under the supervision of a physical therapist. The program is delivered over five semesters, with options for in-person learning at the Plymouth campus (fall start) or a hybrid format on the Quincy campus (spring start). The curriculum blends foundational science, technical PTA courses, and extensive clinical education—totaling around 65-70 credit hours.
Students take specialized courses such as Musculoskeletal Anatomy, Pathology for the PTA, Manual Therapy techniques, and four levels of Interventions. Three full-time clinical affiliations provide hands-on experience in real healthcare settings across Massachusetts’ South Shore region—a key advantage given Quincy’s proximity to Boston-area hospitals and rehab centers.

Admission requires prerequisites like biology coursework (with lab), minimum TEAS exam scores (55%), observation hours in PT settings, and attendance at information sessions. Tuition is competitive among community colleges; current rates can be found on Quincy College’s website. Additional costs include books, uniforms, immunizations, background checks, and licensing fees.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National PTA Licensure Exam. With strong local demand—especially near major medical hubs like Boston—the career outlook is positive: most graduates find employment soon after passing boards. Unique to Quincy College are small class sizes fostering individualized support and holistic teaching that values lifelong learning within a diverse student body reflective of Greater Boston communities.
