Physical Therapist Assistant Degree Program

This is a Chesapeake Area Consortium of Higher Education program. Students will complete general education requirements at Chesapeake College, professional training at Anne Arundel Community College, and clinical internship in Chesapeake’s service area when possible. Distance Learning will be used where appropriate. In addition to the scholastic standards required of all students in the College, all physical therapist assistant students must receive a minimum grade of “C” in each physical therapist assistant course. Students who receive a final grade below “C” in any PTA course and BIO 211 will not be able to progress in the program. Students should consult with the Allied Health Department Chair or the Physical Therapist Assistant Program Director in planning an appropriate program.

NOTICE: Enrollment is limited by the availability of clinical facilities. Meeting the program requirements does not guarantee admission into the program.

"I have had a fantastic year and have grown so much with my new career. Chesapeake College prepared me well and I'm truly enjoying the rewards that come with my new responsibilities. I'm grateful for the faculty's dedication to my success."
