The Physical Therapy Program at the University of South Carolina offers
students a unique opportunity to develop skills in an intimate learning
environment. Small class size allows students an opportunity to get
individualized instruction and closely interact with instructors. Students
complete an independent research project focused on clinical practice and
learn the value of evidence-based practice.
Students who complete the DPT program at the University of South Carolina have
the option of applying, and if accepted, enroll in an accelerated PhD degree
in one of three areas including Motor Rehabilitation, Applied Physiology, or
Health Aspects of Physical Activity.
