Applicants
The application season for
the full 26 month PA program is open the year prior to
matriculation, beginning April 15th and closes on October 1st of
each year. After applications are completed, those who are
accepted into the program start the first week in June.
Before students are
accepted into the program they must complete a Bachelor’s
Degree, take the GRE, MAT, or MCAT, as well as all physician
assistant prerequisites. Transfer credits may be accepted, and
credit is not awarded for prior work experience. Consideration
for admission to the Physician Assistant Program is given to
candidates with high cumulative and support course grade point
averages (GPAs), healthcare experience, letters of
recommendation, and those from rural or underserved areas. The
most qualified candidates are invited to campus for interviews.
Beginning with the class of 2011, thirty students will be
offered a position in each class. Application is a two-part
process. Initially, prospective students must submit an SIUC
generic online graduate school application directly to the
Graduate School at
http://www.gradschool.siuc.edu/
and apply for the summer term. When that is done, please send
official transcripts to the academic advisor of the PA Program
and complete the online
CASPA application.
Applications are accepted from April 15th to October 1st. The
SIU PA Program also requires
supplemental information be
sent to the PA Program for admission consideration in addition
to the
CASPA application.
Applications for the
MCP
program are accepted until June 1st of each year or by
permission of the Program. Classes for the
MCP
start the fall semester of each year.
