Physician Assistant Studies

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is developing one of the most exciting degree programs in higher education today: The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (PA).

Approved for development by the UNC System Board of Governors on Oct. 19, 2022, the program is now taking important steps toward provisional accrediation by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant. Once the accreditation process is complete, North Carolina A&T will begin recruiting its first class of PA students.

Part of the John R. and Kathy R. Hairston College of Health and Human Studies, the Department of Physician Assistant Studies is leading in an area of intensive need and growth: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 12,800 PA job openings a year over the coming decade.
