Physical therapist assistant (PTA)

PTA student outcomes

Graduation Rate data are based upon the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education’s (CAPTE) calculations during recent Annual Accreditation Reports and reflect cohort enrollment of the first technical course after the drop deadline. CAPTE’s calculations do not count students who start in the cohort, but later leave the Program for reasons other than academic or clinical deficit.

Licensure data obtained from original reports generated by The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy and reflect real-time data at the date that this report was generated.

Known Employment Rate is calculated according to CAPTE standards and only represents the data that the Program is able to verify. It is noted that not all graduates respond to employment inquires.
