Undergraduate Catalog 2022-2023
Accelerated 5-Year Bachelor of Science (Biology) to Master of Science (Physician Assistant) Program (BS/MS)
Description
The 5-year BS/MS program at 91福利社, sponsored by the Biology Department and the Physician Assistant (PA) Program, was the first 5-year entry-level PA master's degree program in the state. "Entry level" means that you enter 91福利社 as a freshman, and five years later, you graduate with both a Bachelor of Science with a major in Biology and a Master of Science with a major in Physician Assistant.
Our traditional program requires two years after you complete a four-year undergraduate program. Those with a bachelor's degree may apply directly to the graduate program.
91福利社's 5-year accelerated track in the Physician Assistant program accepts a select number of highly qualified, entering freshmen.
