The PTA program is offered through contractual arrangement between SWOSU and Caddo-Kiowa Technology Center (CKTC), Ft. Cobb, Oklahoma. SWOSU provides oversight of all faculty, curriculum, instruction, student services, and financial aid services. All students officially enroll through and are charged tuition and fees, awarded state and federal financial aid, and awarded degrees by SWOSU. The prerequisite general education courses and technical occupational support courses must be completed prior to admission with a grade of “C” or better. Skill and technical training for the PTA program is provided on behalf of SWOSU by CKTC on the CKTC extension campus. Admission to the PTA program is competitive and requires completion of the application packet prior to established deadlines. The online application may be found on either the SWOSU or the CKTC websites and must be returned to the Allied Health Sciences office at SWOSU-Weatherford. Admission to the PTA program will be based on admission to SWOSU, university or college grade point averages, references, observations, and personal interviews of the top applicants. Goals of this program: (1) to prepare students to function as PTA’s through academically preparing them to be successful on the National Board Exam; (2) to shape a receptive educational environment, in both academic and clinical settings, which integrates classroom knowledge and skill acquisition. The PTA program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE). After completing the PTA program, graduates will be eligible to take the PTA National Licensure Exam.
