Spokane Falls Community College PTA Program Overview

If you’re interested in a hands-on healthcare career, Spokane Falls Community College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program offers an excellent pathway. The PTA program awards an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree and is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), ensuring graduates are eligible for licensure nationwide.
The rigorous curriculum requires 103 credits over six quarters, including courses like anatomy, neuroscience, orthopedic and pediatric rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise labs, and multiple clinical experiences at local health care facilities throughout the Spokane region. Students develop skills to assist physical therapists with patient care—helping people recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions.

SFCC’s faculty bring diverse real-world experience—from outpatient orthopedics to neurological rehabilitation—and offer strong mentorship. Notably, students benefit from small class sizes and dedicated support staff who guide them through every step of their education.

Costs are competitive: estimated tuition is about $11,000 for Washington residents; books and fees add approximately $5,300 more. Financial aid may be available. Graduates consistently achieve high pass rates on licensing exams (over 92% two-year average), with a 100% employment rate within one year post-graduation—a testament to both program quality and Spokane’s growing healthcare sector.

Prospective students must apply directly to the PTA program; informational sessions are held each fall and winter quarter.
