BS in Physician Assistant
Note: The bachelor’s-level entry program in physician assistant is being discontinued and replaced by a master’s-level entry program. The last class to be admitted to the professional phase of the bachelor’s program initiated professional studies (junior year) in the summer of 2002.
Physician assistant majors must pass all health professions and physician assistant core courses with a minimum numerical grade of 75 percent. A student earning less than a grade of 75 percent in any of these courses must petition the Department of Physician Assistant studies for probationary continuation. A student must have completed all general education requirements in 1. and 2., below, and must have a minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA to be eligible to apply for admission into the professional phase of the physician assistant curriculum.
