Beschreibung des Programms

Trevecca's Pre-PA Pathway allows students to tailor their undergraduate academic experience to prepare a competitive PA school application and maximize success in Trevecca’s PA program. This pathway consists of the courses required for a major in biology with a minor in chemistry, along with defined upper-level electives focused on building a solid foundation for PA school.

Program Benefits

  • Enjoy our small class sizes and supportive campus community.
  • Take advantage of our renovated facilities and state-of-the-art equipment.
  • Learn from faculty who possess high degrees in their fields, who have relevant and valuable real-world experience, and who make an effort to know you personally.
  • Take advantage of incredible internships and job opportunities available in the exciting Nashville healthcare market.

What to Expect

Trevecca’s pre-physician assistant (Pre-PA) pathway allows you to tailor your coursework so you can build a competitive PA school application, preparing you for the graduate studies needed to become a physician assistant. A PA works as a crucial member of healthcare teams at hospitals, urgent care centers, and clinics by examining patients, prescribing medicine, ordering diagnostic tests, assisting with procedures, and performing many other essential duties.

Your coursework will be a combination of the classes required for a biology major/chemistry minor, along with upper-level electives that build a strong foundation for PA school. On top of a solid academic foundation, Trevecca’s Pre-PA pathway offers the following benefits:

  • Strong mentoring relationships. Pre-PA students interact with our PA students, faculty, and staff through valuable mentoring relationships that help them succeed in their academic journeys and increase their professional skills and network contacts.
  • A guaranteed interview. Trevecca students who complete all of the Pre-PA course requirements and meet the Trevecca PA program admissions standards are offered a guaranteed interview for the Trevecca PA program.

A chance for early assurance of admittance into Trevecca’s PA program. Trevecca offers the early assurance of admittance to our PA program to a select group of our Pre-PA students based on the following criteria:

  • Exceptional academic performance (including GPA requirements)
  • Alignment with the Trevecca PA program mission
  • Evidence of a character consistent with the highest standards of the PA profession

Students who meet the criteria will be notified of final acceptance into the early assurance process during the spring of their junior year. (The number of approved early assurance students in an incoming class will not exceed 10 percent of the overall Trevecca PA program cohort for that year.)

Your Pre-PA coursework meets the prerequisites for Trevecca’s own historic and highly esteemed PA program, where you can earn a Master of Science in medicine in about 27 months. With the first and longest-running PA program in Tennessee, Trevecca has graduated more than 1,200 PA students who now serve all over the world. Our graduates consistently pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE) at rates above the national average. In the past five years, graduates from our program have had an average first-time pass rate of 99 percent.
