100% Club

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology (P.I.T.) is proud to announce that 100% of our 2017 Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) graduates passed the state-administered National Physical Therapist Assistant Examination after graduation.

Physical Therapist Assistants are in demand with a projected growth of 40% from 2014-2024, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics. Graduation from a PTA education program, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states

The P.I.T. PTA Program seeks to develop and produce the region's most mature, successful, professional, and skillful entry-level Physical Therapist Assistants who will provide exceptional patient care.

The underlying philosophy of the P.I.T. PTA Program is to ensure adherence to the criteria and performance expectations outlined in detail in A Normative Model of Physical Therapist Education published by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). Complying with these criteria and performance expectations ensures that students will receive a solid foundation in the skills to be successful PTAs under the supervision of Physical Therapists.

The PTA Program integrates general education courses and professional coursework throughout the curriculum. Students build upon the knowledge and skills acquired in basic courses as they advance through the curriculum. Further, many non-laboratory courses in the PTA Program incorporate both didactic and "hands-on" learning experiences enabling students with different learning styles to acquire the appropriate knowledge.
