D'Youville University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Faster to practice — At 24 months, this program is shorter than most. That means less tuition and earlier income, but a denser schedule with little slack.

• Higher cost — In-state tuition of $129,160 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• Ask about board prep — The reported first-time PANCE pass rate is 80%. That is below the national average — a fair question to ask on interview day is what remediation and board prep look like.

• 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.

• Stricter prerequisite grades — A minimum of B- in prerequisites is tougher than the typical C. Recheck your transcript before you invest in the application.

• Recency matters — Prerequisites expire after 6 years. Older science coursework may need to be retaken.
