What is the cheapest PA school in Virginia?
Virginia programs use both cohort-based and annually revised pricing. ODU's required fees are substantial beyond its tuition line, and JMU's current expense page has conflicting cohort captions. These details matter more than a simple lowest-price sort.

Recognize renamed programs
Old Dominion's Virginia Health Sciences PA program is the former EVMS program. Its Early Assurance option is an admissions pathway, not another accredited PA school.
Check the full direct cost
Compare ODU's tuition plus mandatory fees with other schools' combined charges. A tuition-only number can significantly understate what is billed.
Ask about travel during clinical training
A nearby classroom does not guarantee nearby rotations. Review each program's clinical placement policy and budget separately for temporary housing.
How many accredited PA programs are in Virginia?
The current roster contains ten sponsoring programs. Shenandoah has two teaching locations under one program; ODU Early Assurance does not add another.
Where is ECPI's PA program?
ECPI's official PA program page identifies Virginia Beach as the program location. General ECPI campus navigation also lists other cities that are not PA teaching locations.
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.
