This is kind of a loaded question....it's more self taught learning, unfortunately. I know there are a ton of programs that are like this, but in my opinion, this is a lot of money and a ton or responsibility for future practitioners to have "self taught " classes. Clinical placements are not guarenteed, you get a list of prior placements, but these contracts are not in place, so you essentially can be stuck without a placement....contrary to what is sold as secured placements. UTA doesn't gurantee placements either, but I believe the classes are structured better. Anesu if you can financially, I would look into possibly dropping to part time, work/life/school balance is soooo much better with working part time. I did it and it was a game changer. I don't want to dismay your choice, but you get what you pay for...quite a bit of my cohort is withdrawing and transferring to other programs, so that tells you something. .? good luck with everything!!
