Accreditation Status
The Ñý¼§Ö±²¥’s Physician Assistant/Associate Program has applied for Accreditation-Provisional from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). The Ñý¼§Ö±²¥’s Physician Assistant/Associate Program anticipates matriculating its first class in August 2026, pending achieving Accreditation-Provisional status at the April 2026 ARC-PA meeting. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding accreditation-provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of Ñý¼§Ö±²¥. Please note that the program will not commence in the event that the provisional accreditation is not received.
