In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare and education, ensuring the highest standards for training and preparing future healthcare professionals is paramount. We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone for our school’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program – the attainment of a new accreditation that reflects our commitment to excellence in education and healthcare. 

Accreditation serves as a mark of quality and assures students, faculty, employers, and the broader community that our PTA program meets or exceeds established standards. The process comprehensively evaluates various aspects, including curriculum, faculty qualifications, facilities, and student outcomes. Achieving accreditation is not only a recognition of our dedication to maintaining high educational standards but also a testament to our continuous efforts to enhance the learning experience for our students.

This validation signals that our program aligns with industry expectations and prepares students to excel in their roles as future Physical Therapist Assistants.

Graduates from accredited programs may find increased opportunities for employment and may be better positioned to pursue advanced degrees or certifications in the future.
