Colorado’s four PA sponsors span Grand Junction, Arvada, Parker and the Anschutz campus in Aurora. Compare the program’s location and residency policy alongside its cost schedule.
Program and cost sources checked November 12, 2026.
Program locations and accreditation are checked against official sources. Prices retain their published scope and year; estimates and incomplete totals are identified instead of silently filling gaps.

Verified totals matching your selected cost basis come first. Other prices and estimates remain below, alphabetically. Rate years can differ; this is not a ranking of total attendance cost.
Published program tuition for the class of 2028. University, course and matriculation fees add $5,560; insurance, housing and clinical travel are extra.
Historical starting-cohort estimate across seven semesters. Figures combine tuition and fees; ask for the quote for your entering cohort.
Resident: $44,634 + $20,567 + $5,692. Nonresident: $63,544 + $27,245 + $7,961.
Published whole-program estimate combines the current tuition rows. The table reports no student service fee; insurance, supplies and living costs are listed separately.
Central schedule lists first-year tuition $25,531 resident and $55,281 nonresident. The PA program page lists different annual figures ($25,787/$55,817). Confirm the cohort quote with the bursar; no reconciled full total is ranked.

|---|---|---|

Explore the Dashboard →Red Rocks’ PA program is at its Arvada campus. Colorado Mesa is in Grand Junction, Rocky Vista’s PA program is in Colorado, and CU’s CHA/PA program is at Anschutz in Aurora; these are different relocation plans.
CU explains that nonresidents may petition for residency after a year. A potential later reduction is not the same as an approved resident rate at enrollment. Ask the registrar which facts and deadlines determine your classification.
The program page and the central 2026–2027 tuition schedule show different annual amounts. This guide preserves the annual schedule and flags the discrepancy rather than inventing a reconciled total.
Yes. Red Rocks identifies its program as a Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies located in Arvada. Its institution type does not mean that a general community-college tuition rate applies.
Accreditation and state placement use the current ARC-PA roster, with program sites for campus details. Each cost card links to its university source. “Verified” means the displayed amount and scope were located in an official source on the review date; it does not mean the rate applies to every future entering class.
Tuition-only and tuition-plus-fees totals stay separate. Annual and per-term figures are not treated as full-program totals. Calculated estimates are labelled and excluded from full-program sorts. “Not verified” means a reliable comparable amount was not established, not that a program is free.
Continued, Provisional and Probation are accreditation statuses; applicant programs are not yet accredited. “F” identifies a focused visit. Program-specific cost and accreditation details here reflect this state review; the national directory and paid comparison dataset retain their separately dated snapshots.
