Greenville Technical College (Exp) PTA Program Overview

Greenville Technical College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, offered at the Benson Campus in Taylors/Greer, is a highly respected and accredited path for those seeking to enter this rewarding healthcare field. The program awards an Associate in Applied Science degree through a structured “1 + 1” format: Phase I consists of 30 credit hours of general education courses that can be completed full- or part-time—or even transferred from other colleges—while Phase II involves 46 credit hours of technical PTA coursework over four consecutive semesters (or six on an extended track).
Courses cover essential topics such as human anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, patient care skills, therapeutic exercise, massage techniques, and use of assistive technologies. Students also complete clinical experiences with local healthcare partners throughout Upstate South Carolina.

Graduates are well-prepared for licensure; recent data shows a two-year ultimate exam pass rate and employment rate near 100% for the Expansion cohort. Program costs follow Greenville Tech’s standard tuition rates but may be offset by scholarships like the Career Pathways Scholarship for qualifying students.

The job outlook is strong both locally and nationally—a projected growth of 19% from 2022–2032—and starting salaries are competitive ($64K median annual wage). With its rigorous academics, supportive faculty based right here in Greer/Taylors SC (2522 Locust Hill Rd), hands-on learning opportunities across the region, and proven outcomes,
GTC offers one of the most robust PTA programs in South Carolina.
