I've also wondered this. One thought I've had is that many PT schools in Texas don't participate in PTCAS. If they did, there would be a much larger pool of applicants. Supply and demand. More people want to get in, the school will see an opportunity and raise tuition and fees. Maybe PTCAS and the ability to apply to many programs drives up the cost of the PT education?

Well the tuition for overall Texas schools is cheaper, not only for pt program, medical school or any majors are the same situation
