Miami University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Career-changer friendly: At 200 required patient care hours, this is one of the lower bars in the country, worth a look if you are switching fields and building hours while you apply.

• 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.

Miami University is located in Ohio. The details below come straight from the program and are re-checked on a rolling basis.
