Recommended Sequence to Complete PTA Program Pre-requisites in 2 or more years on a part time basis:
Many students choose to take 4 semesters or more to complete the pre-requisite courses. They have more option for sequencing pre-requisite course, but still must consider sequencing to ensure all pre-requisites are completed by the end of the spring semester in the year they are applying to the PTA Program. We recommend you meet with the PTA Program Director to ensure correct sequencing for completion of pre-requisite courses.
