PA programs
in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania offers a broad mix of PA programs, including graduate-entry, combined undergraduate/graduate and hybrid options. The current sponsor roster contains programs missing from the earlier directory snapshot, so this page uses the current accreditor list rather than assuming the older dataset was complete.

Make the numbers comparable
What is the cheapest PA school in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania public programs may distinguish resident and nonresident rates. Private programs may also use different billing rules for combined pathways and graduate entrants. Cost rows separate tuition from combined tuition-and-fee budgets, and identify projections rather than presenting them as guaranteed future bills.
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.
Published full-program tuition
| Program | Published cost | Rate / cohort |
|---|---|---|
| Chatham University | $110,330 all students | 2026-27 |
| Elizabethtown College | $118,178 all students | Current published graduate tuition; cohort year unstated |
Tables are ordered by resident or flat cost where available. Nonresident amounts are shown alongside. Open a program’s source to confirm the rate for your entering class.

Distinguish the Jefferson programs
Center City is a separate sponsor from East Falls/New Jersey. The New Jersey location belongs on the New Jersey campus page even though its sponsor is listed in Pennsylvania.
Do not merge Salus and Drexel costs
The current ARC-PA roster separately lists Salus and Drexel. Elkins Park tuition and the main Drexel PA tuition schedule should not be substituted for one another.
Budget for required travel
Pitt Hybrid publishes required in-person immersion expenses, while Chatham describes distant clinical-site travel. A hybrid or local classroom location does not eliminate rotation or travel costs.
How many PA sponsors are listed in Pennsylvania?
ARC-PA currently lists 31 Pennsylvania sponsors. Separate degree pathways under the same sponsor are not counted twice.
Can I compare a five-year PA price to a two-year graduate program?
Only after isolating the same educational phase. Duquesne publishes a combined undergraduate/graduate budget; that total is not equivalent to a graduate-entry tuition quote.
Which Pennsylvania PA school is cheapest?
A complete ranking is not supported by this review. Residency, entry pathway, mandatory fees and unresolved current-cohort prices all affect the comparison.
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.
