Taylor University PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• 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.

• No extra standardized testing — No GRE, PA-CAT, or CASPer required — one less hurdle if standardized tests are not your strength.

• 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.
