This is historically how tuition and fees are structured at other PA programs. The average fees charged by other institutions in Michigan are over $11,000 for a two-year program. This means you would only be eligible to use educational loans for $95,000 and that you the student would be responsible to pay $11,000 dollars out-of-pocket throughout the two years. Our tuition at LTU is structured to reduce the burden on every student by incorporating program fees into the total cost of tuition. This allows all students to utilize educational loans to cover the total cost which means NO mandatory out-of-pocket expenses for the entire two-year program.
LTU attempts to anticipate every expense associated with the program, however there may be other unanticipated expenses that each student needs to consider, examples are.
- MAPA conference – attendance is strongly encouraged
- Additional educational resource purchases
- Stethoscope engraving
- Medical kit upgrades
- Additional scrub sets
- Additional white coats
Seat Deposit:
Students who are accepted into Lawrence Technological University’s Physician Assistant program are responsible for a non-refundable deposit of $1000 to secure their seat two weeks after an offer is extended. The seat deposit will be applied towards the cost of tuition for those students who matriculate into the PA program.
Refund Policy
A full 100% tuition refund will be granted for all drops completed within the Drop/Withdrawal period, typically two weeks after the start of the semester. After the Drop/Withdrawal period there will be a 0% tuition refund.
Official Drop/Add period dates for each semester are available at the Registrar's office site .
Although expenses have increased nationwide we have made a conscious decision in the interest of our commitment to a student centered program not to increase tuition for the 2024 cohort.
