Welcome, 2026–2027 PTA Class!

Yesterday, we officially welcomed our newest Physical Therapist Assistant students to MAC Cape and the Cape Girardeau Career & Technology Center (CTC), and we couldn’t be more excited to have them here!

Over the next year, this group will learn, grow, challenge themselves, support one another, and put in a LOT of hard work as they prepare to become work-ready Physical Therapist Assistants. 🩺💪

A one-year program may sound quick, but we know just how much these students will accomplish in that time. There will be long days, new challenges, plenty of studying, and hopefully lots of laughs and memories along the way. And before they know it, they’ll be walking across the stage as graduates and stepping into their careers.

To our newest PTA students: we’re so glad you chose MAC Cape! We’re cheering you on from day one and can’t wait to watch you grow throughout this next year. Your journey starts now!

Welcome to the MAC Cape family!
