Wor-Wic Community College PTA Program Overview

Wor-Wic Community College, celebrating its 50th anniversary in Salisbury, Maryland, offers a well-regarded Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA). This program is designed to prepare students for rewarding careers helping people regain movement and function after injury or illness. The curriculum blends general education with technical courses and hands-on clinical experiences across local hospitals, rehab centers, and outpatient clinics on the Lower Eastern Shore.
The PTA program requires completion of prerequisite courses before admission. Once accepted—through a competitive process—students undertake coursework aligned with national standards set by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and CAPTE accreditation requirements. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Exam for PTAs—a key step toward state licensure.

Prospective students must attend a mandatory virtual information session and complete eight hours of observation split between inpatient and outpatient settings at regional facilities. Tuition costs are affordable compared to four-year institutions; as of July 2024, median hourly earnings for PTAs in the region stand at $35.34, with around 248 annual job openings projected through 2028.

Unique to Wor-Wic is its strong community connection: feedback from area residents helps shape the program’s direction. With small class sizes and close ties to healthcare providers in Wicomico County and surrounding areas—including Sussex County (DE) and Accomack County (VA)—graduates are well-prepared for immediate employment locally or beyond.
