Notice on PTA Program at LCCC:
After much review, LCCC’s Physical Therapist Assistant A.A.S. program will no longer admit new students for the fall 2023 semester. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Current students will be able to continue their coursework, through a teach out plan, to earn their degree. A teach-out plan will allow current first and second year students to successfully complete the program on schedule and earn their A.A.S. degree.
Anyone who has applied to enter the program in the fall 2023 will be contacted about options for other degree programs at LCCC.
If you have additional questions, contact Larissa Verta, Vice President for Academic Services and Student Development, at Lverta@lccc.edu.
