Make the numbers comparable
What is the cheapest PA school in Louisiana?
FranU publishes a complete seven-semester tuition-and-fees schedule. LSU pages offer residency-based figures, but some program summaries differ from newer bursar rates. Xavier's published semester rate is not a full-program total. Confirm the applicable cohort before making a cheapest PA school comparison.
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.

Use LSU Health campus-specific sources
LSU Health New Orleans and LSU Health Shreveport have different program lengths, tuition schedules and aid budgets. Neither should inherit the other's price.
Keep living expenses out of tuition rankings
Shreveport clearly separates tuition/fees from living costs. Compare tuition with tuition first, then add housing and clinical travel to estimate what you actually need to finance.
Are LSU's two Louisiana PA programs the same program?
No. New Orleans and Shreveport are separately listed accredited sponsoring programs.
Which Louisiana PA school is cheapest?
The answer depends on residency and current cohort prices. The page flags older or inconsistent quotes rather than presenting them as confirmed lowest-cost options.
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.
