The technical phase spans six academic quarters, combining evening lectures, labs, and hands-on clinical experiences right on the Savannah campus—a great option for working adults or those with daytime commitments.
Students complete 640 hours of supervised clinical education across diverse settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and outpatient centers throughout Georgia’s Coastal Empire. Unique to South University is an integrated approach: after an initial seven-week full-time clinical rotation, students return for coursework focused on current rehabilitation issues—helping bridge classroom learning with real-world patient care before heading into their final nine-week terminal experience.

Admission is competitive and involves meeting general undergraduate standards followed by prerequisite courses (minimum 2.75 GPA), TEAS testing, observation hours, background checks, drug screening, and health clearances. All professional-phase classes must be taken at South; transfer credit isn’t accepted once admitted.

Graduates are well-prepared to sit for licensure exams required in Georgia—with recent cohorts boasting a 100% first-time pass rate and job placement rate.
Tuition varies based on credits transferred but expect typical associate-level costs plus fees associated with screenings and certifications.
