Prereqs grade C+ (no C-), within 10 years. Three recommendations. On-campus interview required (by invitation). No standardized tests and no PCE/shadowing required.

Mission-aligned interview preference for HRSA-indicator applicants (economically/educationally disadvantaged, English not primary language, military veterans, Ursuline grads).

★ Straight From the Program — 2026 PAEA Virtual Admissions Fair

The program highlighted a curriculum that includes ultrasound coursework and a dedicated telehealth course, along with an elective rotation that lets students pursue an area of interest. On the clinical side, students are not responsible for finding their own rotation sites - the program places them, drawing on a network across northeast Ohio and beyond, and students who want to stay near campus generally can. Its advice to applicants sitting right at the stated minimum was honest: meeting the requirement keeps you in consideration, but at that level your essay, your recommendations, and your volunteer and leadership record have to carry more of the weight. Patient-care hours are not required here, though the program says they are good to have. For students early in the pre-PA path, any patient-facing work helps, but shadowing a PA specifically is how you confirm this is the profession you want.
