The Pre-Physician Assistant emphasis is designed for students looking to apply to Carroll’s Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Program. In order to earn the emphasis at Carroll University, pre-health students must complete the courses associated with the track. These courses will satisfy prerequisite requirements for Carroll’s MSPAS Program as well as those required for admission to most professional/graduate schools in that field. As these requirements vary by school, it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of specific program requirements and to consult with a pre-health advisor for guidance. Additional prerequisite course requirements may exist.
Pre-requisite courses for many Physician Assistant Programs include:
General Biology with Lab and/or Anatomy and Physiology with Lab (2-4 semesters), Microbiology (1 semester), General Chemistry with Lab (2 semesters), Organic Chemistry with Lab (1-2 semesters), Biochemistry (1 semester), Psychology (1-2 semesters), Statistics (1 semester) and various humanities/social sciences.
