Creighton University - Phoenix PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Middle-of-the-pack GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.67) is close to the national middle, so a solid-but-not-spectacular academic record is genuinely competitive here.

• The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.67 — a gap of 0.67. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Career-changer friendly — At 250 required patient care hours, this is one of the lower bars in the country — worth a look if you are switching fields and building hours while you apply.

• Strong PANCE outcomes — A first-time PANCE pass rate of 100% 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.

• Recency matters — Prerequisites expire after 5 years. Older science coursework may need to be retaken.
