Salt Lake Community College PTA Program Overview

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) offers a highly respected Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at its Jordan Campus, located in the heart of Salt Lake County. The PTA Associate of Applied Science degree requires completion of approximately 69 credit hours over two years. Coursework blends classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experience in local hospitals, rehab agencies, schools, and private practices—giving students real-world skills right here in Utah.
The curriculum covers anatomy, patient care techniques, kinesiology, therapeutic exercises, and includes active participation in SLCC’s on-site pro bono physical therapy clinic. Small class sizes ensure personalized attention from experienced faculty who are licensed physical therapists themselves.

SLCC boasts impressive outcomes: over 90% graduation rate for admitted students and a 100% employment rate among recent graduates surveyed. All graduates who took the national licensing exam passed—a testament to the program’s quality preparation.

Tuition is affordable compared to four-year universities; current rates can be found on SLCC’s website under Tuition & Fees. As an NWCCU-accredited institution, credits earned transfer easily within Utah’s public colleges and most private institutions—a unique benefit not always available elsewhere locally or nationally.

Graduates are well-positioned for careers as PTAs throughout the growing Wasatch Front healthcare sector. With supportive advisors and monthly information sessions available for prospective students, SLCC stands out as a top choice for those seeking a rewarding career helping others regain mobility and wellness in Salt Lake City and beyond.
