I am. USC's program is small. Our class size is 17. It is one of the smallest programs in the nation. We take gross anatomy and neuro with the med school students which is nice. The program is heavily based in research. Unlike most other programs, USC's DPT is 3.5 years long and you have to propose and defend a thesis. This takes a lot of time and effort. If you aren't interested in living in research, then this probably isn't the program for you. For my project I had to propose my thesis with a full lit review. Then carry out the study which involved recruiting 21 subjects and 3 PTs. Finally I have to calculate the data and defend my findings in front of my committee and all of the DPT students. We do 4 clinical rotations (6 week Ortho, 8 week Acute, 12 week Neuro, and the final one is 12 weeks of your choice). After finishing the DPT program you have the option to continue and get your PhD if you want to do more research and possibly teach.
Just down the road is MUSC, it is a shorter program (only 3 years) and from talking to friends who have attended it, this program has a higher value placed on clinical practice. It still hits the points of evidence based practice, but there is not a huge research project needed to graduate.
I also have a lot of friends who attended St. Augustine. Students from their program are among the smartest I have ever met. I do not know much about the program but Stanley Paris is a god in the PT world. He has revolutionized the practice.
Hope you have luck finding a program. Shop around. Every program is different. Ask to speak with students from other programs to get a feeling about how much they like it.
