★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

The program said it gives special consideration to military applicants, and encouraged them to fully complete the military-related fields so the program can actually see that background during review. Admissions staff described the program’s Christian identity as central and lived-out — chapel, mentorship, mission trips, service projects, small groups and an emphasis on servant leadership — which makes genuine mission fit worth thinking about before you apply. The program also pointed applicants to its own applicant self-assessment tool.

Shared by this program’s admissions team at the PAEA Virtual PA Admissions Fair on July 11, 2026, and paraphrased here. Admissions guidance changes between cycles — always confirm requirements, deadlines and prerequisites on the program’s official website.
