Verified totals matching your selected cost basis come first. Other prices and estimates remain below, alphabetically. Rate years can differ; this is not a ranking of total attendance cost.
Published total program tuition. The 2026 entering cohort has a different $97,220 quote. Learning technology is charged separately per credit; graduation, insurance, equipment and living expenses are additional. Costs remain subject to adjustment.
Comprehensive tuition and program fee bundle includes listed books and equipment. A further $182 screening charge produces the source’s $112,122 tuition-and-fees total. Living costs and the separately listed clinical placement allowance are additional.
The bursar explicitly estimates tuition across seven terms. Do not add different entering cohorts’ annual tables together. Fees, medical insurance and living expenses are separate.
$15,674 per term × 7 terms = $109,718
Two-year tuition projection using the current year-of-study tables. Program and technology fees, graduation, travel and living expenses are extra; future rate changes are not included.
$48,321 + $41,769 = $90,090
Seven semesters at $15,581. The same rate appears for the 2025 entering cohort. A one-time $1,630 equipment/lab fee brings that stated direct bundle to $110,697; other listed expenses remain additional.
The bursar lists $958 per credit. A reliable full-program total was not established in this review; do not treat the older directory figure as the new cohort price. The program source lists included supplies and separate living/health expenses.
Tuition is fixed for the 26-month program and identical for residents and nonresidents. The quoted total excludes the separately listed health, equipment, travel and living expenses.
Published program tuition is $101,990. Program fees add $10,360, producing a $112,350 bundle billed over seven semesters. Additional medical equipment, screening and living costs are separate.
The $17,000 × seven-semester bundle includes institutional/lab fees, listed textbooks and equipment, despite the headline calling it tuition. The page does not label an entering cohort. Clinical rotations may require out-of-state travel and temporary housing, which are separate.
Published tuition is $15,500 for seven semesters. Listed university, lab and graduation fees bring direct program cost to $110,800. Clinical travel, insurance and living expenses are additional.
Tuition-only sum across the published didactic and clinical semester rows. Clinical, support, health, equipment and other fees are separate. The total attendance estimate includes living expenses and should not be treated as tuition.
$1,007 × 94 credits = $94,658
The detailed program-cost page publishes these combined estimates without a rate year, while the program overview displays different amounts ($69,053/$72,264). Confirm a cohort-specific budget with the bursar; these conflicting quotes are excluded from cost sorting.
Tuition-only projection for the named graduating class. The source lists $109,836 including semester and clinical fees. Future entering-class pricing is not established by this quote; equipment, living expenses and travel are extra.
$15,080 × 7 semesters = $105,560
The official semester table contains an arithmetic error: one ten-credit tuition row is $10,990 while another is $9,990 at the same $999 rate. Its published $105,810 tuition-and-fees estimate needs reconciliation. Confirm the full budget before comparing this unit rate with other programs.
Fixed cohort tuition for seven semesters at $15,000. Estimated program, technology, clinical, parking and graduation fees add $5,300; equipment, insurance, conference travel and living costs are additional.
The program’s three-year-of-study tuition totals exclude fees. Its separate tuition-plus-fees totals are $102,786 resident and $158,903 nonresident. Annual rates may change, so confirm the entering-cohort budget.
Published 24-month tuition is six semesters at $17,195, including listed textbooks, resources and supplies. College/program fees and living expenses are additional. The linked university PDF provides the cohort cost schedule.

Ohio has both residency-based prices and flat cohort rates. Ohio University and Toledo publish resident/nonresident figures; private programs use several different fee bundles. Start with comparable full-program quotes, then add relocation and clinical travel. A low partial rate cannot establish the cheapest PA school in Ohio.

Explore the Dashboard →Ohio University’s PA program is in Dublin, and Ashland’s is in Mansfield. The university’s main-campus address is not always the right place to search for housing. Use the program-location links before comparing commutes or signing a lease.
Miami’s cost source describes out-of-state clinical placements, while other schools separately budget clinical travel and housing. Ask how many rotations may require temporary accommodation, how sites are assigned and what assistance is available. A cheaper local apartment does not settle the whole clinical-year budget.
The ARC-PA roster reviewed November 12, 2026 lists 17 Ohio sponsors. Continued, Provisional and Probation are accreditation statuses; they are displayed individually so you can review the program’s current standing.
No. Baldwin Wallace and Miami publish bundles that include fees or supplies, while several other schools quote tuition alone. Ohio University’s official pages and Findlay’s arithmetic also require clarification. Those unresolved figures are kept out of the verified cost sort.
The MPAP is taught at Ohio University’s Dublin Integrated Education Center in Dublin, Ohio. It should not be treated as an Athens-based PA program.
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.
