Please note:  1/12/2010   Because of the popularity of the program and the ARC-PA limitation on the number of students allowed into the professional phase of the program, we are unable to accept CASPA (graduate) applications for students wishing to apply for the 2-year Master of Physician Assistant Studies program that begins Fall 2011.

We anticipate that seats for graduate students will be available for those entering in Fall 2012. The application on CASPA's website (www.caspaonline.org) will be available beginning May 2011.
