AccreditationThe St. Ambrose University Master of Physician Assistant Studies program has applied for provisional accreditation from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA).
The St. Ambrose MPAS program anticipates matriculating its first class in July 2014, pending provisional accreditation at the September 2013 ARC-PA meeting.
Provisional accreditation is an accreditation status for a new PA program that has not yet enrolled students, but at the time of its comprehensive accreditation review, has demonstrated its preparedness to initiate a program in accordance with the accreditation Standards.
Upon completion of this initial accreditation process, we anticipate that if the first class begins study in the summer of 2014, that cohort will graduate in December 2016.
