·1 hr 16 min·2 clips

NYIT costs $226,148 in tuition while Georgia Southern costs $35,478, according to PTCAS data.

1. Pre-PT Grind's live episode 315, "How Much Does Physical Therapy School Cost," uses PTCAS directory figures that run from $35,478 to $226,148. 2. Casey and Joseph, both physical therapists, host the show to help pre-PT and pre-PTA students get into school and make money during it. 3. Casey's thesis is that the cost range of $35K to $226K gives students real choices, and that "you are the customer" who must make a grown-up decision. 4. The episode opens with AI in physical therapy: Joseph expects AI to take over repetitive tasks like documentation and warns that clinicians who resist it will be "left behind," while Casey cites a Patient Studio article on diagnosis, billing, and movement tracking. 5. The program updates note that Hofstra University is accepting applications for an inaugural summer 2024 class as a candidate for accreditation, and that Methodist University toured the Carolina Hurricanes rehab facility. 6. A nine-question quiz on the infraspinatus covers its origin (infraspinatus fossa), insertion (greater tubercle of the humerus), action (external rotation), and innervation (suprascapular nerve, C5-C6), and a viewer named Gianna answered all nine correctly. 7. In the main event, Casey lists the most expensive school as NYIT at $226,148 and the cheapest in-state school as Georgia Southern at $35,478, with Florida International University at about $50,669 out-of-state. 8. He puts the average public program at about $69,000 and the average private program at $125,000, and says someone earning $100K on average gets a strong return even at the cheapest school. 9. Joseph says one student earned over $181,000 in scholarships, and he names school selection, scholarships, and learning to make more money as the "big three" ways to control debt. 10. Best for pre-PT students weighing school cost, debt, and scholarships.
