Bachelor of science/Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies

Dual degree students in the Bachelor's-Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (MSPAS) Dual Degree Program earn a BS and an MSPAS degree in 427 months. Students complete four years of undergraduate study to earn a bachelor's degree in Biology, Health Science, Exercise Science or Neuroscience while completing required Physician Assistant (PA) prerequisites. Upon completing the bachelor's degree, students matriculate into the 27-month Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies graduate program, provided they continue to meet program-specific criteria as they progress through their undergraduate studies.
Students apply to the MSPAS Dual Degree program as incoming full-time freshmen and are admitted directly into the graduate MSPAS program at the same time as their admission as undergraduate students. Dual degree students, therefore, have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program.

Combined with advisement from their undergraduate academic advisor, students engagement with programs and activities offered by the College of Health Professions and the graduate program provides strong support toward successful progression into graduate study.
