Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT)

Continuing Your Path in Physical Therapy

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Charleston Southern University is 2.5 years of hands-on and interactive education that will allow graduates to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination. Core faculty hold a doctoral degree and teach students to incorporate contemporary evidence with interprofessional collaboration to be leaders in the profession.

In addition to classroom learning, students will complete a variety of clinical and service-learning experiences. The DPT degree culminates in a faculty-mentored research project that can be presented at a state or national conference. Students also have the opportunity to participate in organizations like the physical therapy club.
