Suggested Progression
The order in which you approach the prerequisite course work will ultimately depend on a variety of factors: placement test scores and any required developmental course work, previous college or dual enrollment classes, your personal schedule, or what classes you want to take. The progressions below are offered only as a suggestion, not a requirement. The path chosen may vary but the ultimate destination is the same – all prerequisite course work completed prior to the June 15th on-campus application deadline or November 1st off-campus application deadline of the year in which you are applying to the PTA Program. Please note that all PTA Program classes must be taken at WSCC in the sequence described below – there is no part-time enrollment option available at this time. The PTA Program sequence is day classes only, beginning in fall semester and finishing the following summer for one complete year of program course work.
Note: Please see the WSCC Catalog for specific course names and descriptions.
