Total Cost of Program

The PA Program makes every effort to keep costs reasonable for students. However, because the Program runs continuously for twenty-four months, applicants must review their financial resources carefully and anticipate expenses realistically. Due to the rigorous nature of the curriculum, students should not plan to be employed during the Program. Classes may be held in evenings and/or Saturdays if necessary. During the clinical education phase, all students will, at times, be assigned to clinical sites outside of the immediate Burlington/Alamance County area. The student is responsible for the costs related to out-of-area travel and housing if applicable. A detailed breakdown of estimated program expenses as well as student loan programs may be viewed on the Program’s website at:
