Frequently Asked Questions About PA Programs

How many PA programs are there in the United States?

This directory lists more than 350 accredited entry-level physician assistant programs, plus 129 postgraduate PA residency and fellowship programs. Accreditation status is verified directly from the ARC-PA, and every record is reviewed for accuracy every month.

How do I know what each PA program looks for in applicants?

Every active program page includes a “What This Program Looks For in Applicants” summary — the stated preferences, holistic-review criteria, mission and values fit, and preferred experience each program weighs — drawn from the program’s own admissions materials. It’s a feature you won’t find in other PA directories.

Which PA schools don’t require the GRE?

Most accredited PA programs no longer require the GRE. Use the GRE Not Required filter to see the full, current list of PA schools you can apply to without a GRE score.

How do I find PA programs by state?

Open the Locations view to browse PA programs on an interactive U.S. map and see every program in your state.

What’s the difference between a PA program and a PA residency?

An entry-level PA program leads to a master’s degree and eligibility for the PANCE. A postgraduate PA residency or fellowship is optional specialty training (for example, emergency medicine or surgery) for PAs who have already graduated and are certified.

How often is the directory updated?

Every program is re-verified from primary sources — the ARC-PA, CASPA, and each program’s official website — every month (a fresh verification cycle every 30 days), so deadlines, prerequisites, tuition, and accreditation status stay current for each application cycle.
