The three year BS/MS Program in PA Studies is designed to accommodate 40 students per year. Students are interviewed in depth by representatives of the PA Program as part of the admissions process to the college and are approved to enter the college as PA majors beginning the pre-PA curriculum. Transfer/Second Degree admission, which occurs at the beginning of the professional program, is limited. Selected candidates are invited for interview on campus. For all applicants, previous health care experience is not required but strengthens the application. Students entering as PA majors must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 per semester, a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2, and minimum cumulative science GPA of 3.0 (with a grade of C+ or higher per course) to enter the PA Program.
