First-year tuition is $45,016 resident / $65,008 nonresident. Second-year columns present an apparent regional/nonresident inconsistency, so a full-program comparison is withheld.
PA programs
in Maryland.
Maryland’s current ARC-PA roster lists six PA sponsors, including newer provisional programs. Program location can differ from the university’s best-known campus: Frostburg’s program contact address is in Hagerstown, so applicants should verify where instruction actually takes place.

Compare the correct residency category
UMES lists Maryland resident, Eastern Shore regional and nonresident tuition separately. The regional category is not a general discount for every neighboring-state applicant.
Read the whole cohort schedule
Towson provides a summer-start multi-year projection. A first-year budget alone omits later coursework and can reverse an apparent cost comparison.
Confirm the classroom location
Frostburg’s PA address is in Hagerstown. Do not choose housing simply from the sponsoring university’s name.
How many PA sponsors are in Maryland?
Six appear on the current ARC-PA list.
Can Delaware residents qualify for a different Maryland PA tuition rate?
UMES publishes an Eastern Shore regional category that includes Delaware and Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Confirm eligibility and the entering-year rate directly with UMES.
Which Maryland PA school is cheapest?
A universal cheapest claim is not supported. Compare resident, regional or nonresident full-program tuition as applicable, and keep fees and incomplete annual budgets separate.
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.
