Thank you for your interest in the Arapahoe Community College’s PTA program. We assist military-trained PT Techs and Specialists in earning an Associate degree as a PTA. The degree builder plan is on the SOCAD website.
To participate in this degree builder plan, a you must have:
Individuals who are eligible for this degree completion program receive transfer credit for 51 credit hours of the ACC PTA program from their Ft. Sam training. An additional 24 credit hours of PTA and general education coursework are required to complete the degree. Additional transfer credit may be granted for general education courses previously completed. All of the required courses are available in a distance education format through either Arapahoe Community College or Colorado Community College online. Before ACC will grant anyone a degree in anything, a minimum of 15 credit hours of coursework must be completed through ACC so there is a limit of how much transfer credit can be awarded.
The individuals here at ACC involved in the creation of this program feel a fair and equitable program was developed which both recognized your previous coursework and experience as well as upheld the academic integrity of the PTA degree here at ACC. After reviewing the program information, we hope you reach the same conclusion.
Please let me know if you are interested in pursuing this option at this time. If so, we can further discuss completion of the necessary admission requirements as well as meeting degree requirements. Please leave me a message and the best time to contact you on my office voicemail at 303.797.5897 or email your questions to me at paula.provence@arapahoe.edu.
