Wagner College PA Program: Requirements, Tuition & Stats

• Longer runway — At 36 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.

• Lower cost — In-state tuition of $58,226 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

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