Make the numbers comparable
What is the cheapest PA school in Tennessee?
A Tennessee PA budget can vary sharply by residency and campus. MTSU provides a seven-term projection; Bethel publishes a cohort package; other schools quote annual or quarterly rates. Several official pages have inconsistent fee subtotals, which are flagged rather than silently corrected.
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.

Match the program to its accreditation record
Bethel and Trevecca currently appear with Probation status. LMU Chattanooga was granted Provisional accreditation in October 2026, while MTSU is listed as Continued.
Budget for clinical relocation
LMU describes clinical sites across multiple states and says students pay associated travel and housing costs. Include this possibility even if you can live at home during classroom training.
Is LMU Chattanooga accredited?
The current ARC-PA roster lists Provisional accreditation granted October 3, 2026. Some older university pages still describe accreditation as pending.
Is an annual Tennessee PA tuition quote the program price?
No. Programs may run across multiple academic years and summer terms. Use the stated full-program total or obtain a cohort schedule before comparing prices.
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.
