Please see our tuition [1] page for the most current SMC tuition and fee information. Tuition is charged for the first six of the seven semesters. Tuition is not charged for the final semester. Additional first year costs include:
- Textbooks
- Medical Instruments
- ACLS instruction
- Health Insurance
- Rent
- Food
- Personal Expenses
All students are required to carry health insurance throughout enrollment in the PA program. If the student does not elect to take the institutional student health insurance, evidence of comparable health insurance must be provided.
Working part-time while in school may seem like an easy way to help cope with the costs of attending school. While it is not reasonable for the program to forbid such employment, we discourage it as much as possible.
