Program Information

Degree Offered

Master of Physician Assistant Studies

Format: Online

Program Description:

Because of the advantages of having a master's degree, physician assistants are seeking ways to further their education. Recognizing that returning to a college campus for postgraduate study is impractical for most working physician assistants, the University of Nebraska Medical Center Physician Assistant Program has developed a distance learning program to enable practicing PAs to "transition" from the bachelor's degree to the master's degree. This program provides an opportunity for practicing physician assistants with a bachelor's degree to obtain a professional postgraduate master's degree in one year at a reasonable cost and without any required travel. Upon completion of the distance learning program, the physician assistant is awarded the Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree.
