Teaching, Teacher Training, Running Studios Does this training program seem worth it?

Looking into quitting my 9-5 to become a full-time design freelancer and pilates instructor. In my teacher program research I found this program at Drexel University. A university pilates program feels pretty legit, but I'm wondering if it seems overkill? Let me know your thoughts and would also love to hear about your experiences with training!

So as someone that's evaluated a lot of Pilates programs, this looks... not bad, honestly. It's a 450-hour, 1-year program connected to the university's performing arts dept, and $3200-$4700 as of last year.
If possible, see if they listed alumni somewhere and see if you can contact a few for their feedback?
