Weber State University 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.

• Small cohort: A class of 20 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 $75,000 is in the least expensive quarter of PA programs. Over a career that difference is real money.

• Residency matters: Out-of-state tuition ($110,000) runs 47% above in-state. If you can establish residency, this program gets substantially cheaper.

• 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.

• Stricter prerequisite grades: A minimum of B- in prerequisites is tougher than the typical C. Recheck your transcript before you invest in the application.
