Sinclair Community College PTA Program Overview

Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio offers a well-regarded Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program leading to an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree. The curriculum is 65 credit hours and typically completed over five semesters of full-time study. Students benefit from a balanced mix of classroom instruction, hands-on laboratory work, and clinical education experiences at local healthcare facilities—an advantage given Dayton’s robust medical community.
The PTA program combines general education courses such as anatomy & physiology, psychology, English composition, math for health sciences, and physics with specialized technical classes like functional mobility, manual therapy techniques, orthopedics, neuromuscular rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise and multiple practicum seminars. Upon graduation students are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination for licensure in Ohio.

Sinclair stands out locally due to its affordable tuition compared to four-year institutions—making it an accessible entry point into healthcare careers—and flexible pathways including both general admission and Accelerated Admission options for high-achieving students. Graduates can expect strong job prospects throughout the Miami Valley region; PTAs are needed in outpatient clinics, hospitals (like Premier Health), skilled nursing homes and schools.

The college maintains transfer agreements with area universities should graduates wish to continue their education. Sinclair’s PTA program is accredited by CAPTE ensuring national recognition.
