Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.5) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• Career-changer friendly — At 250 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.

• Longer runway — At 42 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.
