| Interprofessional Health Program Description |
| AACC intends to continue collaboration with UMB by developing a 3+2 accelerated pathway to Physician Assistant Program completion. Historically, students completed a BA/BS degree from any regionally accredited institution and competed for enrollment in the PA program. We propose two new alternative pathways for students to apply to the PA program: <br>1. Students complete a BA/BS degree from any regionally accredited institution and complete all pre-requisite course work and the proposed certificate program taught at the 200 level from AACC, meet the standards for acceptance, and receive preferential conditional acceptance in the UMB Master’s, PA program; or <br>2. Students complete the Associate of Arts Transfer Studies Degree at AACC, all prerequisite courses and the proposed certificate offered at the 200 level from AACC, meet the standards for acceptance, receive preferential conditional approval and complete their Bachelors of Health Science during their first year of the Masters of <br> <br>Health Science while enrolled in the MSHS with a PA concentration through the University of Maryland Baltimore PA Program. <br> |
