M.S. in Physician Assistant Studies

Elon’s 24-month, full-time program prepares graduates to think critically and act skillfully to meet expanding health care needs in local and global communities.

Students will immerse themselves in a curriculum structured around active learning strategies through collaborative work with Elon’s faculty, scholars and practitioners in the field. Students emerge in two years as graduates prepared to employ the most current knowledge to care for patients’ physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs.

The Elon PA program, along with the Elon Doctor of Physical Therapy program, is housed within the School of Health Sciences.
