PLEASE NOTE: Additional costs will vary from learner to learner. Learners completing clinical experiences outside the KC Metro area may incur additional travel and housing expenses based on location. Learners must understand that they will be responsible for all the costs associated with travel, housing, meals, etc., for the clinical phase. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ PA program will not be responsible for expenses incurred by the learners during clinical rotations. Please include this in your budget plans and note that clinical experiences may be scheduled at any approved OU PA Program clinical site location.
Additional tuition and fees may apply for remediated coursework, exams, or assessments; broken or lost laboratory equipment; and other factors affecting program progression and completion, including, but not limited to, deceleration and delayed graduation.
The learner tuition and fees described above are good-faith projections for the PA Program. However, they are subject to amendment at any time at the discretion of the Program and the University to meet its financial commitments and fulfill its role and mission. Every effort will be made to provide advance notice of such changes.
