Greenville Technical College PTA Program Overview

Greenville Technical College’s Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program, located at the Benson Campus in Taylors, SC, is a well-respected option for those seeking to enter this rewarding healthcare field. The Associate in Applied Science degree follows a unique “1 + 1” structure: Phase I consists of 30 credit hours of general education courses—which can be completed full- or part-time and may be transferred from other colleges—while Phase II features 46 credit hours of specialized PTA coursework taken over four consecutive semesters (full-time) or six extended-track semesters on campus.
The curriculum covers medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, patient care skills, therapeutic exercise, massage techniques, use of assistive technology for pain control, and more. Graduates are prepared to sit for the national licensure exam; recent pass rates average above 97% within two years post-graduation. Employment outcomes are excellent—98.5% job placement locally between 2021-2023—and PTAs remain highly sought after both regionally and nationally.

Tuition is competitive among Upstate South Carolina schools; scholarships like Career Pathways can help cover costs if eligible. Greenville Tech’s strong ties with local hospitals and clinics provide valuable clinical experience opportunities. Accredited by CAPTE through June 2029, GTC’s PTA program stands out not only for its rigorous academics but also its supportive faculty and community partnerships—making it an ideal choice for students in the Greenville area looking to launch their careers as licensed physical therapist assistants.
