PA - Physician Assistant

The mission of the Wagner College PA Program is to prepare professional, academically sound, clinically competent, compassionate clinicians committed to providing quality patient-centered care to all individuals. The PA Program encompasses a 36-month curriculum, divided into a 12-month Didactic Phase, and 24 months of supervised clinical practice experiences, research, and advanced clinical work. This three-year program is included within a five-year curriculum in PA Studies that includes two pre-professional years of prerequisite basic sciences and liberal arts courses plus the three-year PA Program in Advanced PA Studies. During the first two years at Wagner College, students take prerequisite courses in the sciences in preparation for the PA program, as well as general education course requirements needed to be eligible for interviewing for progression into the PA Program.
