Additionally, if the desired healthcare program is not offered through PSEP, students may check the Western Regional Graduate Program. WRGP currently offers access to more than 60 high-quality healthcare-related degrees offered by some 43 public institutions. Students who enroll in a cooperating program outside of Arizona through WRGP pay resident tuition.
