Miami-Dade College PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Lower cost — In-state tuition of $41,437 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• Residency matters — Out-of-state tuition ($56,871) runs 37% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.

• Ask about board prep — The reported first-time PANCE pass rate is 90%. 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.
