ALL PROGRAMS

Curriculum

We have a comprehensive and rigorous 27-month, 113 semester credit curriculum leading to the MPAS Degree with built-in strategies to reduce stress and enhance learning.

Students are admitted and progress as a unified cohort and complete courses in a specified sequence of full-time study, divided between a 13-month didactic phase and a 14-month clinical phase of training.

All Courses Are Required

All courses must be successfully completed with a grade of ‘C’ or higher in addition to maintaining a 3.0 semester and cumulative GPA for Progression and Graduation.

The Program is unable, for any individual or circumstance, to waive courses, permit advanced placement, or offer a part-time option.

For further details regarding promotion and graduation policies, refer to the policies listed in the Program Info webpage.

For details regarding the MPAS Program’s semester by semester course sequence, refer to the Degree Requirements webpage.
