Concordia University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Heavier testing load: This program requires PA-CAT and CASPer. Budget the extra prep time and exam fees before your deadline.

• Strong PANCE outcomes: A first-time PANCE pass rate of 97% is above the national average.

• Apply early: Admissions are rolling, so seats come off the board as the cycle goes. An application submitted in the first few weeks is worth more than the same application submitted in month four.

• Newer program: This program holds provisional accreditation, which is normal for a program that has not yet graduated its first classes. Expect a smaller alumni network and fewer years of PANCE data.
