SEQUENCE OF COURSES

General Education Courses required for PTA program, and Graduation Requirements: See Program Information for a complete list of the courses. Students take these courses prior to, or during, their enrollment in the program. A counselor can assist students in developing an educational plan to complete these courses and prepare to meet college graduation requirements. It is advisable for students to take these courses prior to the program, or during the first year. Clinical affiliations during the second year of the program preclude daytime coursework, so students must plan accordingly.
