University of Pittsburgh- Hybrid Program PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Faster to practice: At 24 months, this program is shorter than most. That means less tuition and earlier income, but a denser schedule with little slack.

• Large cohort: A class of 100 is among the biggest in the country. More seats improves your odds, and the alumni network is larger, but you will need to be proactive about mentorship.

• Higher cost: In-state tuition of $129,689 is in the most expensive quarter nationally. Worth weighing against your expected starting salary and loan burden.

• 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.

• 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.
