5 programs shown
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 tuition is $16,000 per semester / $48,000 per year, excluding program and technology fees. These annual figures are not a full-program quote.
Current semester tuition is $8,274 resident or $16,000 nonresident, plus a $700 program fee. The same page's multi-year budget uses inconsistent tuition figures; confirm the entering-cohort total. This is the accredited residential program, separate from the developing hybrid program.
The school publishes $119,400 total tuition, at $19,900 per semester across six semesters. Tuition is fixed after matriculation. Supplies, housing and other non-tuition expenses are separate.
Current year-one tuition is $62,430 and year-two tuition is $46,920; together they project $109,350 before future changes. The university describes included educational items separately. Living and clinical travel remain additional.
The bursar lists $7,545 resident / $13,128 nonresident full-time semester tuition, with a separate nonresident-scholar category. The program links a cohort cost workbook; confirm the full-program and residency calculation before comparing.

North Greenville publishes a fixed six-semester tuition amount. Other programs use yearly projections or semester rates, and MUSC's different cost tables do not reconcile cleanly. The table preserves these distinctions so a search for the cheapest PA school in South Carolina does not turn an incomplete quote into a false bargain.
| Program | Published cost | Rate / cohort |
|---|---|---|
| North Greenville University | $119,400 all students | Graduating Classes of 2027 and 2028 |

The residential MUSC program is accredited. The proposed hybrid program remains a separate applicant; MUSC announced that it would not enroll its planned spring 2027 cohort.
MUSC and the University of South Carolina publish resident and nonresident rates. Confirm residency classification and every summer term before estimating your full degree cost.
The current roster has five accredited sponsoring programs. MUSC's proposed hybrid option is not an additional accredited program.
Not responsibly from a mix of annual, semester and full-program figures. Use only comparable verified totals; request clarification when a university's tables conflict.
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.
