Taylor College PTA Program Overview

Taylor College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program offers a focused pathway for those looking to enter the growing healthcare field in Florida. The PTA program awards an Associate of Applied Science degree after 75 weeks (about 20 months) of study across five semesters, blending classroom instruction with hands-on learning. Students complete a total of 72 credit hours, which include both general education courses—like English Composition and Psychology—and specialized technical classes such as Anatomy and Kinesiology, Pathophysiology, Therapeutic Modalities, and multiple clinical education experiences.
A unique aspect of Taylor College’s PTA program is its hybrid format: students benefit from flexible online coursework while still gaining essential face-to-face lab experience on campus in fully equipped facilities. Clinical training totals 630 hours at real physical therapy departments throughout central Florida—including Ocala—giving students direct exposure to patient care under supervision.

Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination for licensure in accordance with Florida regulations. Taylor College is institutionally accredited by ABHES and holds CAPTE accreditation (currently probationary). Financial aid is available for qualifying students.

Career prospects are strong locally; PTAs find work in hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, schools, sports organizations, and home health settings. Local employers like Life Care Center of Ocala regularly hire Taylor graduates—a testament to the school’s reputation within Marion County’s medical community.
