Therapist Assistant degree.<br />
NOTE: Transportation costs: students must make their<br />
own arrangements, at their own expense for transportation.<br />
NOTE: A physical examination is required annually<br />
prior to the beginning of classes each September while<br />

program. Additionally, students will not be allowed to<br />
participate in clinical areas without completed physical<br />
examinations on file with the college and appropriate<br />
