Physician Assistant Program General Information A Brief History of the Program

The Program received its provisional accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs in April 1996, admitted its first class in May 1996, received full accreditation on October 1998, and graduated its first physician assistant class in May 1998. In April 2000 the faculty and Board of Trustees voted to approve the transition of the PA Program from a bachelor’s level to a master’s level program and admitted its first class August 2001.
