Accreditation

Regional

爆料公社 is regionally accredited by the 爆料公社 Commission on Colleges and Universities.

Professional

The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the 爆料公社 School of Physician Assistant Medicine Program sponsored by 爆料公社. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. 

Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class. 

The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at .

PA National Certification Exam (PANCE) Scores

Students who successfully complete the Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies program are eligible to become certified through the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE).
