The University of Pittsburgh at Titusville's (UPT) Physical Therapist Assistant Program is a well-established academic based program. "The Physical Therapist Assistant Program at the University of Pittsburgh at Titusville is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)."* The program is accredited through the year 2011. The faculty and students are members of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). Upon completion of the two-year Physical Therapist Assistant Program, students will earn an Associate of Science Degree for the Physical Therapist Assistant from the University of Pittsburgh, and will be eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapist Assistant Licensure Examination (NPTE). UPT's PTA Program has achieved the highest pass rate percentage in Pennsylvania for both 2001-2003 and 2002-2004 based on the Federal State Board of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) weighted average ultimate pass rates for the NPTE. Although the PTA Program is primarily a two-year program, there is also a three-year program available, which will enable you to accomplish the same outcome, but at a slower pace. Our faculty will also work with you to suggest a curriculum to fit your previous college credits or for students that cannot attend school full time. Our small class size and knowledgeable faculty give you interactive/hands-on learning and personalized attention in a comfortable atmosphere. As a branch of the main Pitt campus, you will have access to the medical and research resources for which the University of Pittsburgh is respected worldwide.
