What is the cheapest PA school in Kansas?

Wichita State’s current PA information uses a seven-semester flat-rate tuition-and-fee model that supersedes older per-credit information packets. Kansas State publishes future-year projections, while Ottawa separates tuition from a comprehensive fee. Residency and included fees both matter.

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.

No current full-program quote meets the comparison criteria above. Review each card’s rate year, estimate or missing information before comparing costs.

Planning for PA school in Kansas

Use Wichita’s current fee model

Older PDFs circulate with 2020 rates. The current admissions information explains the flat-rate schedule and included fees.

Plan beyond the teaching campus

Ottawa lists clinical sites in several states and assigns travel and housing costs to students. Budget for that clinical phase.

Keep applicants separate

Southwestern College is on ARC-PA’s applicant list. It is not counted as an accredited sponsor or a verified tuition option.

Is Ottawa University’s PA program in Ottawa?

Its program materials identify Overland Park. Confirm the exact instructional address before arranging housing.

Does Wichita State’s PA total include fees?

Its current flat-rate table says the listed additional fees are included. Living and other student expenses remain separate.

How do I compare the cheapest PA schools in Kansas?

Use complete tuition and mandatory fees for your residency. Do not use obsolete Wichita rates or mistake future-year projections for guaranteed bills.

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.
