PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Pre-Physical Therapist Assistant Certificate is a preparatory certificate designed so that students can complete general education requirements before transferring to an institution that offers the Associate Degree in Physical Therapist Assistant. York Technical College has a cooperative agreement to provide a 1 + 1 program in which the first year of general education is completed at York Technical College and the second year of major coursework is completed at Greenville Technical College.

Admission to the Pre-Physical Therapist Assistant Certificate requires qualifying scores on the College’s placement exam and a high school diploma or equivalent. Completion of one high school or college unit of algebra, biology, and chemistry with a minimum grade of “C” is also required.  BIO 150 (Anatomy Review for Kinesiology) is required prior to phase II.  BIO 210 & BIO 211 are pre-requisites to this course.

Students wishing to transfer must make direct application to and complete all requirements at Greenville Technical College. Completion of the Pre-Physical Therapist Assistant Certificate does not guarantee admission to the second phase at Greenville Technical College. There may be differences in the evaluation and awarding of transfer credit for previous college courses between York Technical College and Greenville Technical College. Courses provide basic skills for students to enter selected health-related occupations.
