A Hybrid Pathway With a Singular Focus on Success

Students in USC’s hybrid DPT pathway are integral, supported members of the USC Trojan Family, learning from faculty who are experts in the field. The USC DPT academic experience consists of three integral components: online classes and coursework, on-campus immersions in Los Angeles, and clinical experiences in your community or nationwide. Offered on a full-time basis, the three-year program is intensive and designed to propel students to achieve their highest potential.

DPT Program Highlights

  • Learn from esteemed USC faculty members.
  • Participate in rich discussions during live online classes.
  • Collaborate in on-campus, state-of-the-art learning laboratories.

The hybrid DPT pathway offers one start date per year, and applications are reviewed as they are submitted. Admission requirements are the same as for the residential DPT pathway, and graduates from both pathways earn the same degree. Students in our hybrid pathway are fully immersed in the USC experience, are valued members of the Trojan Family, and are equipped to excel as compassionate physical therapists whose practice is based on research, patient perspective, and clinical expertise.
