September 8, 2026

The Blinn College District Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program will host a series of information sessions for prospective students interested in learning more about the program and the application process.

“We invite anyone interested in pursuing a rewarding career in healthcare to attend an upcoming information session, learn more about the Blinn’s PTA program, and discover how they can take the next step,” Program Director Kelsey Maki said. “PTAs play an essential role in helping patients regain mobility, strength, and independence, and Blinn’s program prepares students with the hands-on skills and clinical experience needed to succeed in this rewarding field.”

Information sessions for fall 2027 admission to the program will be held monthly beginning in September, with three in-person sessions and one virtual option scheduled in December.

The in-person sessions will be held in Academic Complex Building 1 (ACB1), Room 219, at the Blinn at Texas A&M-RELLIS in Bryan. The schedule is:

• Friday, Sept. 25, 2026, at 9 a.m. — In person
• Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, at noon — In person
• Friday, Nov. 20, 2026, at 2 p.m. — In person
• Friday, Dec. 11, 2026, at 9 a.m. — Virtual

Information session attendees will learn about the PTA Program, admission requirements, the application process, and opportunities available to graduates.

The Blinn PTA Program has a strong record of preparing students for success. All 16 spring 2026 graduates achieved a 100% first-attempt pass rate on the National Physical Therapy Examination (NPTE), and Blinn PTA graduates have maintained a 100% employment rate since 2019.

Blinn’s PTA Program is located at the RELLIS Academic Alliance Complex at Texas A&M-RELLIS in Bryan. Part of a 16,000-square-foot health sciences simulation center, Blinn’s physical therapy lab provides students with innovative instruction and training. Students put their coursework into practice through hands-on simulation and participate in clinical rotations to gain real-world experience prior to graduation.
