Direct Entry Physician Assistant BS/MS-PA Program

One application. Two healthcare degrees. The direct entry healthcare program streamlines your path to becoming a physician assistant.

Students complete four years of undergraduate study at Clarkson for a BS degree, then directly enter our MS in Physician Assistant Studies (MS-PA) program. There’s no second application, as long as all the requirements and academic criteria have been met. The PA program reserves 5 seats per year for students admitted through direct admission, provided they meet minimum entry requirements, including required healthcare experience hours.
