Make the numbers comparable
What is the cheapest PA school in Missouri?
Missouri State and UMKC distinguish residency rates, but UMKC’s large program-cost headline includes living expenses. Logan publishes a full six-trimester tuition amount and Stephens supplies a cohort-specific schedule. Compare equivalent categories before deciding which Missouri PA school is cheapest.
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.

Distinguish the Columbia options
Stephens College and UMKC’s Columbia site are separate choices. UMKC makes campus-specific admission offers, with the same tuition rates at Kansas City and Columbia.
Use current Logan information
Logan now has Provisional accreditation. Older marketing pages that describe an applicant program predate the current action.
Allow for clinical travel
Missouri State describes distant clinical rotations. Ask each school about temporary housing and transportation before treating campus rent as the whole living budget.
Does UMKC teach PA students in Columbia?
Yes. Its official cost and admissions pages identify Kansas City and Columbia under one accredited sponsor.
Is Logan University’s PA program accredited?
The current ARC-PA roster lists Provisional accreditation. Review the current entry date and program details as well.
Can I compare UMKC’s semester rate with a full-program tuition quote?
No. Verify every billed term and mandatory fee first. Its living-inclusive cost-of-attendance headline is also a different category.
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.
