Has anyone attended or plan to apply to University of Findlay's Bridge program?

As a PTA, it is a very appealing option. It is also 3 years in length, but class only meets every other weekend, allowing students to work during the week. The trade off, of course, is that it is a private institution, therefore a regular graduate student loan would not be enough to cover tuition each year.

I wonder if its wiser to go to a traditional program full time, without working, but ending up with alot less debt, or go the Findlay route. Any insight?

Either way, you are going for 3 years. With a part-time program you can work to offset expenses. Have you checked into a grad plus loan to cover expenses?

Yes, I've look into GradPlus loans, but will only use them if absolutely necessary.

You make a good point about being able to offset the cost of Findlay by being able to work some during the week. Also, when I spoke to a program rep today, they said that during the summer semesters, courses are online--meaning perhaps I can work a little extra during that time as well...👍
