Overview

Students generally choose electives to augment their PA admission profile, and to meet unique PA graduate program prerequisite courses not included in the program. The 4-year Health Sciences BS offers greater flexibility to complete undergraduate degree requirements, and provides more opportunities to incorporate extra-curricular experiences like study away or intercollegiate athletics.

Features

Acceptance into the Health Sciences (Pre-Physician Assistant) major at Thomas Jefferson University does not assure a seat in the graduate PA Program.

However, it does provide for an assured interview for selected reserved seats in the East Falls or Voorhees campus PA professional programs for students who meet progressions requirements.
