What undergraduate courses and/or majors best prepare an applicant for the academic program of the PAP?
The School of Physician Assistant Studies does not require that applicants major in any specific academic subject. The School accepts applicants from a wide range of undergraduate majors. Regardless of the major, a heavy concentration in science-based courses that are highly correlated with medicine is recommended. Additional chemistry, biology, and social science courses beyond the minimum will strengthen an application. See the Prerequisite and Other Courses menu for suggestions for additional electives that help to prepare applicants for the rigorous PA curriculum.
