I am considering going to school for physical therapy assistant. I live in southern california. What colleges offer the program? I know of Cerritos College and Loma Linda University. Are there any other colleges that offer the training?

Thank you

listed on the APTA website california only has 5 and three are in the south. there may be some private college elsewhere but will cost a lot more then community college. i've heard Loma Linda is a great one because a friend went there. i'm in the north and hoping to go to Sac City.

good luck.

I am about to graduate from San Diego Mesa College. It is an excellent PTA program that only costs $20/unit. If you are a california resident and qualify for the Govenor's Grant, it is possible for you to go for free! I believe it is too late for you to apply for this coming fall, but if you go on the web site it will give you info regarding information sessions that are held once a month (they are a requirement for admission to the program). I really recommend this program as it fully prepares you for the work force without incurring a huge cost...the true benefit to going for a PTA degree vs. a PT degree. If you are considering Loma Linda, I think you might as well go for the PT degree as the cost of both programs are only marginally different!
