Indiana University School of Health & Human Sciences Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program (IUPUI) PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• GPA-competitive — The average accepted overall GPA here (3.87) sits in the top quarter of PA programs nationally. If your GPA is below about 3.66, you will want the rest of your application — hours, letters, upward trend — to do real work.

• The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3.2, but the average accepted is 3.87 — a gap of 0.67. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

• Lower cost — In-state tuition of $67,034 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• Residency matters — Out-of-state tuition ($97,863) runs 46% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.

• No extra standardized testing — No GRE, PA-CAT, or CASPer required — one less hurdle if standardized tests are not your strength.

• Strong PANCE outcomes — A first-time PANCE pass rate of 98% is above the national average.
