Mercy College of Ohio PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Longer runway — At 84 months, this is a longer program than average. Check whether the extra time buys a dual degree, a bridge/undergraduate component, or additional clinical time.

• Heavier testing load — This program requires GRE and CASPer. Budget the extra prep time and exam fees before your deadline.

• 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.
