Weatherford College PTA Program Overview

Weatherford College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program offers a hands-on, supportive path into one of healthcare’s most rewarding fields. This two-year Associate of Applied Science degree requires 66 credit hours and is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), ensuring you receive top-quality education and preparation for licensure.
Courses are taught face-to-face in small classes by experienced physical therapy clinicians, fostering close mentorship and personalized learning. Students gain real-world experience through clinical internships at hospitals and clinics across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex—including Weatherford, Fort Worth, Dallas, and surrounding communities—providing valuable exposure to diverse patient populations.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the national licensure exam; most find employment quickly in area hospitals, private practices, rehabilitation centers, home health agencies or schools. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data from May 2020, PTA median annual wages were $59,770 nationally—with Texas-specific wage information available via the Texas Workforce Commission. Job growth is projected at an impressive 29% through 2029 due to rising demand among aging populations.

Unique to Weatherford College are robust scholarship opportunities funded by local supporters like Dr. Luke Haynes and Mary Zielinski’s estate—plus an active foundation supporting PTA students directly.

No special equipment purchases are needed: all required tools are provided during clinicals. For more information or guidance about essential job functions or application details contact Program Director Cindy Lavine at clavine@wc.edu or call 817-598-8873.
