Hi! I'm seeking some advice regarding which DPT program to choose. I'm blessed to have a choice, but I'm having a hard time deciding. Here's some info to compare:
Tufts - new pre-accredited program, 2-yr hybrid, starts Jan 2021, tuition is ~$127,000, class size 100
Rutgers Newark - 3 years, starts July 2021, tuition is ~$97,000, class size 65
NYU - 39 months, starts June 2021, tuition is ~$155,000, class size 40
I'm an older student (career change) so the option to start sooner and get done faster to start making a salary or do a residency is very appealing. Tufts - I have the option to live at home and save money as well. I'm confident they will receive their accreditation but I'm sure there will be kinks to work out. From what I hear, the faculty are top notch but I am concerned about class size and not being able to study with classmates in person as much as I'd like. I did feel really comfortable with the staff.
Rutgers and NYU are pretty reputable programs with a ton of clinical connections. I was blown away by the NYU program but the tuition is a bit scary. Any advice? Any insight on the Rutgers and NYU programs would be helpful as well. People have told me that rankings don't matter and to go the cheapest route as long as it's a good program. That being said, Tufts would actually be my cheapest option because I end up saving money in the long run.
