Apply early (interviews offered as applications verified). Preference to applicants with 2 of 3 LORs from physicians/PAs/clinical supervisors. Campbell students/alumni meeting minimums and applying by June 1 priority deadline receive a guaranteed interview. Pharmacy/vet/lab-tech hours count only as supplemental beyond the 1,000 direct PCE hours.

Program admissions information2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair
Clinical rotations are arranged by the program's placement team rather than left to students to find, using a “home base” model that keeps students within a reasonable driving radius of the base they choose. The admissions team said non-traditional roles such as medical interpreting can count as direct patient care when the experience meets their criteria — they review experiences individually, so ask rather than assume. Applicants with military backgrounds were encouraged to use CASPA's life-experience section to tell that story properly. The program highlighted community and underserved-care work, including mobile outreach and a student/staff-run free clinic.

Policies that can change your plan
Coursework must be from U.S. regionally accredited institutions, and AP credit is accepted. You need a C or better in every required prerequisite, and there is no time limit on when courses were taken. All prerequisites must be complete by December 31 of the year before you start (this is the course-completion deadline, not the CASPA application deadline). All required labs must be in person; online labs are not accepted. The Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry row has no stated lab rule, and the Physiology lab for the separate-course route needs confirmation from the program. Minimum credits are not published, so courses are reviewed individually. The September 1, 2026 application deadline has passed, and the next cycle's date is not yet published.
When courses must be complete: Complete all prerequisites by December 31 of the year before matriculation.
