Please refer to the PTA program website at www.instruction.greenriver.edu/PTA for the most current information about application requirements or register for an information session at www.greenriver.edu/infosessions. The required prerequisites are as follows: Human Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2. The prerequisite requires 10 quarter-credits (or equivalent) of human anatomy and physiology with a lab. The minimum courses meeting this requirement at GRCC are AP 103 and 104. Biol& 241 (AP I) and Biol& 242 (AP II) also meet this prerequisite. These courses should be completed within 7 years prior to applying to the program and completed at the same institution. Please be advised that AP 103 and AP 104 may not transfer as well to another institution. Speech/Communication - The courses meeting this requirement at GRCC include: CMST& 210, CMST& 220, CMST& 230 or CMST 238. Equivalent communication/speech courses with less than 5 quarter credits should be verified with the pre-PTA program advisor. English Composition - This requirement may be completed by taking either English Composition I (Engl& 101 or equivalent transferable course). Students who complete an equivalent course of less than 5 quarter credits will not meet this requirement and subsequently be ineligible for graduation. English 126, 127, and 128 at Green River (or their equivalent) will also meet this requirement (5 composition credits required). Math (choose 1 of 2 options) - Option 1: Any college-level Math course (most math courses numbered 100 or above), or Option 2: Complete one of the following: Bus E 110, B A 145 or Acomp 100T and eligibility for Math 072 (Elementary Algebra) by COMPASS score or completion of Math 070 or higher with a grade of 2.5 or higher. The required supporting course is as follows: Human Development - This supporting course must be taken before completing the program. A student may fulfill this requirement with either H SCI 150, PSYC& 200, or an equivalent course. Students are advised to complete this course before entering the program if possible. Please be advised that H SCI 150 may not transfer to another institution, and registration of PSYC& 200 may require successful completion of a General Psychology (PSYC& 100) course and eligibility for ENLG& 101 beforehand. Students who satisfy the above requirements will be selected based on academic preparation, COMPASS scores, GPA, and familiarity or experience with physical therapy or closely-related field requirements. Authorization for background check is required of each applicant. Some convictions may disqualify students from clinical placements and therefore program completion and licensure. Some clinics require additional background checks and drug testing. Individuals whose background checks identify a record of convictions will be required to meet with a faculty member to discuss the findings prior to admission into the program.
