Franklin Pierce University - New Hampshire PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

Who This Program May Be A Good Fit For

  • Small cohort: A class of 24 is well below the national median of 40. Expect more faculty contact and a tighter class culture, and fewer seats to compete for.

  • 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.
