Graduate Assistantships:
Institutional financial assistance is made available through Graduate Assistantships for students enrolled in the second professional year of the physical therapy program. In return for ten hours of weekly service in each of the 15 weeks, a graduate teaching assistant (GTA) receives tuition remission for 4.5 credits per semester. The regular semester schedule allows the GTA to perform the required duties at the regularly scheduled time.
The number of GTAs each semester is subject to change. Fees and tuition costs of additional credits are the responsibility of the graduate assistant.
