  • Cytotechnology

MUSC College of Health Professions is also a provider of health care professionals in the areas listed below:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Health Sciences
  • Communication Sciences & Disorders
  • Health Administration

Today, the College of Health Professions is widely regarded as one of the most respected allied-health colleges in the country. Its students continue to produce superior scores on licensing examinations, and its programs are ranked among the top in the country.

Priority Needs

College of Health Professions Complex
The college is now raising money to build a new 80,000-square-foot education complex that will help it meet the health care needs of South Carolina for many years to come. Learn more

Scholarships
Approximately 75 percent of our students rely on financial support to pay for their educations. Scholarship funds help us attract the best and brightest students, allowing them to focus on their studies instead of worrying about how they're going to pay for the next semester's tuition.

Endowed chairs
Endowed chairs enable us to attract and retain world-renowned educators and researchers to serve on faculty.

College of Health Professions Annual Giving Program
The Annual Giving Program supports a wide range of resources designed to support enhanced learning, including:

  • Student financial aid
  • Equipment and teaching materials
  • Classroom and laboratory renovations
  • Expanded educational opportunities for students and alumni
  • Emergency loans, student travel and student research

Because the program supports an "unrestricted" fund, it enables the college to meet needs as they arise - helping a student to attend a seminar, replacing broken equipment, or providing emergency financial aid. It is this flexibility and responsiveness to student needs that makes the College of Health Professions education a truly unique and exceptional one.
