Southern Union State Community College PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Lurleen B. Wallace Community College in Greenville, Alabama, offers a comprehensive pathway to an Associate in Applied Science degree. Designed as a “one plus one” program, students first complete two semesters of general education prerequisites before applying to the technical phase. Once accepted, students embark on four consecutive semesters focused on physical therapy coursework delivered through classroom instruction, hands-on labs, and supervised clinical experiences with local healthcare providers.
This accredited PTA program prepares graduates for the National Physical Therapy Examination for PTAs and equips them with essential skills to join Alabama’s growing healthcare workforce. The curriculum covers foundational science courses and specialized topics such as therapeutic exercise, patient care techniques, and professional ethics—ensuring students are ready for real-world practice under licensed physical therapists.

Admission is competitive; only 18 students are selected each year due to limited faculty and clinical placement availability.
Tuition rates reflect LBWCC’s commitment to affordable community college education—detailed cost breakdowns can be found on their website.
A required online information session must be completed prior to application submission.

Located in rural south-central Alabama near I-65, LBWCC’s Greenville campus provides access not just for locals but also those from surrounding areas seeking careers in high-demand allied health fields like physical therapy assistance—a profession projected by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (SOC 31-2021) as having strong job prospects nationwide.
