Small cohort: A class of 24 is well below the national median of 40. Expect more faculty contact and a tighter class culture, and fewer seats to compete for.
Lower cost: In-state tuition of $5,181 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.
Residency matters: Out-of-state tuition ($6,504) runs 26% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.
