** The college requires all degree-seeking students to
demonstrate computer competency either by passing an examination or by
successfully completing a designated computer course. Students are
required to meet computer competency during the first 30 hours of
coursework.
Programs with limited enrollment cannot accept out-of-state residents
if there are Tennessee residents eligible for admission.
All general education requirements must be completed prior to the
beginning of PTA 2500/2501, PTA 2431, and PTA 2531.
Graduates of the program will be eligible to apply to take the
National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination to become licensed
physical therapist assistants. However, individuals who have been
convicted of crimes other than minor traffic violations could be
ineligible for physical therapist assistant licensure in the State of
Tennessee, even though they have successfully completed the Physical
Therapist Assistant Program. Physical therapist assistants may not
practice unless under the supervision of a physical therapist.
