Delaware Valley 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.

• Small cohort — A class of 20 is well below the national median of 40. Expect more faculty contact and a tighter class culture — and fewer seats to compete for.

• Lower cost — In-state tuition of $79,920 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• 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.
