Program Costs

These are the estimated total program cost for the master's degree in Physician's Assistant Studies for students who start in Summer 2026. All these costs are estimated because the university hasn't determined any of the final rates for the 2026-2027 or 2027-2028 academic years. These are our best available estimates based on current draft 2026-2027 rates and estimated future rate increases.

This information is developed annually by the TU Financial Aid Office. For questions, contact Financial Aid.

For summer 2026 starts, the PA Program includes three cost years:

  • Year 1 - Summer 2026 through Spring 2027
  • Year 2 - Summer 2027 - Spring 2028
  • Year 3 - Summer 2028
