My advice is to go to school where you can get the best grades and come out with the least amount of debt.

Susan Said:

what is the average tuition fee in the US if you are getting a physical therapy course?

We Answered:

It will largely depend on wheter you go to a public institution in a state in which you are a resident or if you go to a private school.

For instance, in my state, the undergraduate tuition is about $8,000 a year if you are resident and the graduate phase is about $7,000. Total completion at this university is about $45,000 not including living expenses and books.

A private school in my state costs about $31,000 a year in this program (which is a 7 year program), $217,000 not including living expenses.

what are the job oppurtunities if I will take Physical therapy course?

We Answered:

There are a variety of settings in which you will be able to work. This includes hospitals, rehab centers, nursing homes, home health agencies, schools, private clinics, temporary staffing agencies, etc.

The job market is very good right now. As of 2005, the unemployment rate was less than 3% for those actively seeking work.
