I want to get my PhD, but all of the programs I want require a full time commitment for the first year. What are my options? Is a sabbatical an option? Or would I have to straight up resign?

I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.
