Free University, University of the People, is Now DETC Accredited!

I know which PA program you are talking about, U of Wisconsin at Madison. I was looking at their program since it is the one that would make becoming a PA while living in Austin doable since Austin does not offer a PA program unless I move to San Antonio, Dallas, Houston or some other city. Most of my sisters have graduated from U of Wisconsin at Madison.

I wish Texas would stop getting in the way of my ability to do what I want to do education wise. On the subject of ITT Tech, seems like a worthless degree program considering it is NA and has low employer acceptance from what some people have told me. There are far cheaper RA programs that teach the same things that ITT Tech does.

I was annoyed when I found out Texas students couldn't apply to U of Wisconsin at Madison's program. I was also annoyed when Namwen pointed out Texas students couldn't apply to UOTP, but I'm really hoping this will change soon. I can understand Texas looking out for students who might attend unaccredited schools, but the PA program is accredited. Although, it would suck if one couldn't find a preceptor.

If you want an explanation for why someone would attend a school like ITT Tech, check out Soliloquy's thread asking why people attend for-profit colleges. ITT Tech is very expensive, and it even warns prospective students that credits aren't likely to transfer. It does have a reputation that is about as bad as the ones for Deprive University and University of Phallus.
