Find a few physician assistant programs worth a closer look. Compare locations, GPA requirements, testing rules and tuition, then open the exact program or campus profile for the full picture.
Start with the essentials
Listed GPAs are not admitted-class averages. A program may use alternative routes, prerequisite-only thresholds or recommendations; “See profile” is not a promise of no requirement. Tuition figures are full-program estimates where confirmed; check fee notes and the current cohort. Living costs are additional.

Before you apply
Check resident and nonresident tuition for your entering cohort. Add required fees, living expenses and clinical travel. Tuition alone is not your total budget.
Cumulative, science and prerequisite GPAs can have different rules. Some programs also consider recent coursework or recommend a target without setting a hard minimum.
Check your CASPA GPA →An additional campus is not a separate accredited institution. Review the campus profile, required in-person sessions and clinical-rotation arrangements.
Check current accreditation, prerequisites, testing rules and deadlines on official program sources. Requirements can change between application cycles.
