Southwest Wisconsin Technical College PTA Program Overview

Southwest Wisconsin Technical College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program in Fennimore, WI offers a comprehensive Associate Degree designed to prepare students for rewarding careers in healthcare. The 64-credit curriculum spans four semesters and includes courses such as General Anatomy & Physiology, Applied Kinesiology, Therapeutic Exercise, and multiple clinical practice experiences at local facilities. Students can expect flexible learning options with day, evening/weekend, and some online classes.
Tuition for the full program is approximately $10,850 for Wisconsin residents (2025-26), plus additional costs for books ($1,466), technology fees ($600 via Charger Tech 360—which provides an HP EliteBook laptop and tech support), uniforms, travel to clinical sites across southwest Wisconsin or nearby communities like Platteville or Lancaster, health requirements (including CPR certification), background checks, and licensure testing.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE) in Wisconsin. Recent outcomes show strong graduation rates—averaging over 79%—and high employment rates within a year of graduation (100% most recent years). Local demand remains steady; PTAs find work in area hospitals such as Grant Regional Health Center or rehab clinics serving rural populations.

Unique to Southwest Tech is its supportive campus culture rooted in small-town values: students benefit from close faculty mentorship and practical experience through established partnerships with local healthcare providers throughout southwestern Wisconsin. Financial aid is available; district residents receive priority admission.
