The final off-campus PTA cohort is expected to graduate in Spring 2012.  There will not be a class accepted for the November 1, 2011 application deadline.

The off-campus cohort has been postponed indefinitely.  While the demand has been good and our partner schools of Northeast Community College, Bevill State Community College - Hamilton and Northwest Shoals Community College have been extremely gracious hosts, this process has been financially challenging.  Difficult economic times often necessitate difficult decisions and we must be good stewards of ever shrinking funds.

In response to this closure the PTA Program is maintaining on-campus enrollment at 36 students, the maximum number for which we are currently approved.  As always, our on campus enrollment reflects a broad diversity of students from our linkage and partner colleges.

We sincerely regret any inconvenience this closure may have caused.  We will be continuing with our two (2) day per week class format to help alleviate commuting costs for program students.  We are also available for advising sessions with pre-PTA students to recommend alternate progression plans.

Finally, regardless of location, this program remains committed to providing the highest quality, accredited physical therapist assistant education available, helping to meet the rehabilitation service needs of north and central Alabama.
