Ohio University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Lower cost — In-state tuition of $69,053 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• Strong PANCE outcomes — A first-time PANCE pass rate of 100% is above the national average.

• 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.

• Recency matters — Prerequisites expire after 5 years. Older science coursework may need to be retaken.
