Touro University - Nevada PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• More forgiving on GPA — The average accepted overall GPA (3.46) is in the lower quarter nationally, which makes this a realistic target for applicants whose numbers are the weakest part of their file.

• The minimum is not the target — The stated minimum GPA is 3, but the average accepted is 3.46 — a gap of 0.46. Meeting the floor gets you screened in, not admitted.

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

• 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.

• Accreditation status: Probation — ARC-PA currently lists this program as Accreditation-Probation. Programs do come off probation, and students generally remain eligible to sit for the PANCE, but you should read the ARC-PA action report and ask the program directly before depositing.
