Notes	The Pre-Physician Assistant curriculum is designed to meet the requirements for admission to a Physician Assistant (PA) program. Students must obtain a B.A./B.S. degree prior to being accepted into most PA programs. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain prerequisite requirements for the school(s) to which they will be applying and to work closely with their Advisor when selecting appropriate coursework.
