What is the cheapest PA school in Oklahoma?

Public programs publish resident and nonresident estimates; private programs may quote one tuition amount. Oklahoma State separates tuition and fees from living costs, and OU provides program-specific annual columns. Rate-based totals remain projections for future cohorts.

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.

Planning for PA school in Oklahoma

Keep the OU programs distinct

OU Oklahoma City and OU Tulsa have separate program information and different fees. Use the application requirements and cost sheet for the specific program.

Include recently accredited options

Oklahoma Baptist and Southern Nazarene are now listed with Provisional accreditation. Older university pages may still contain applicant wording.

Allow for clinical relocation

Oklahoma State warns that clinical assignments may be well outside Tulsa and require temporary housing. Ask every shortlisted program about expected travel.

Are OU Oklahoma City and OU Tulsa the same PA program?

No. They are separate accredited sponsors with their own program information and cost schedules.

Is Southern Nazarene accredited?

The current ARC-PA roster lists Provisional accreditation. Verify current program dates and admissions details as well.

Compare complete tuition and mandatory fees for your residency, then add living and clinical travel. Projections and living-inclusive budgets are labeled separately.

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.
