San Juan College (Exp) PTA Program Overview

San Juan College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program in Farmington, NM, offers a comprehensive Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree designed to prepare students for rewarding healthcare careers. This two-year program consists of five semesters and blends classroom learning with hands-on experience through simulation labs and two full-time clinical externships. SJC provides both on-campus and online/hybrid options—ideal for local residents or those balancing work and family commitments. The hybrid format requires short visits to campus each semester.
The curriculum covers anatomy, kinesiology, therapeutic exercise techniques, patient care procedures, pain management modalities like massage and electrotherapy, documentation skills, and professional standards as outlined by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Students also learn how to support patients across the lifespan in diverse settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools, sports facilities—even home health agencies.

With an estimated in-state cost around $6,710—and possible eligibility for New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship funding—SJC stands out as an affordable choice. Graduates are eligible for licensure exams nationwide; recent alumni have found employment locally at San Juan Regional Medical Center or regionally throughout New Mexico and neighboring states.

San Juan College is one of only four CAPTE-accredited PTA programs in New Mexico. Located near scenic outdoor destinations like the Four Corners Monument and Chaco Canyon National Historical Park,SJC offers not just excellent training but a unique Southwest living experience that supports student success inside and outside the classroom.
