Bachelor of Science Pre-Physician Assistant

at Concordia University, St. Paul

A Physician Assistant, or PA, practices medicine on teams with physicians, surgeons, and other healthcare workers. They examine, diagnose, and treat patients. Pre-professional programs prepare students for entry into numerous professional programs. The programs are not majors (i.e., a pre-med or pre-physical therapy major) but rather are tailored courses within existing majors. As students determine their program of interest, faculty work one on one with them to ensure they complete the prerequisite course requirements for their professional program(s) of interest.
