Physician Assistant Admissions

The Sullivan University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences offers a unique, 24-month, year-round Master of Science in Physician Assistant program. Annually, our program accepts 65 students to begin the program each July. 

The PA program receives applications for admission and applicant credentials exclusively through the College Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA), a service of the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). 

The first step on your journey to become a physician assistant is to meet with a member of our admissions team.

Whether you plan to apply tomorrow or years from now, our student-centered Admissions Team will guide you through the admissions process. To get started contact paprogram@sullivan.edu or 502-413-8645.
