What is the cheapest PA school in Florida?
Florida's resident tuition advantage varies greatly by institution. FGCU and FIU publish full-program tuition-and-fee estimates, while USF publishes semester estimates. The lowest tuition figure is not the same as the lowest total budget once required fees, housing and clinical travel are included.
These are verified published cost entries, not a definitive statewide cheapest-school ranking. Coverage, rate years and included charges vary. Fees, housing, insurance and clinical travel can change the final comparison.

Separate sponsors from teaching locations
Barry's St. Petersburg location is part of Barry's program. Nova's four Florida PA programs, by contrast, have separate accreditation listings. Check the exact site when comparing outcomes and admissions requirements.
Keep full cost of attendance separate
UF's headline cost includes living expenses. Its tuition entries are much smaller. Use tuition for tuition comparisons and the full budget when planning financing.
Check current accreditation
Miami Dade currently appears with Probation status. Several newer Florida programs have Provisional status; inspect each program's ARC-PA history before applying.
How many accredited PA programs are in Florida?
There are twenty sponsoring programs in the current ARC-PA roster. This page also includes Barry's St. Petersburg campus, giving twenty-one listings.
Does moving to Florida guarantee in-state PA tuition?
No. Residency is determined under the institution's rules; UF specifically says reclassification after the first year is not guaranteed. Confirm eligibility before budgeting at a resident rate.
Sources you can check
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.
