Pre-Physician Assistant and Pre-Medical

Weber State University provides pre-professional curricula, advising and research experience designed to aid students in preparing for physician assistant (PA) school, medical school and other post-graduate programs.

It’s important to understand there’s no “pre-physician assistant” or "pre-medical" major at any college or university. You select a major in any discipline and include courses that medical and/or PA schools require, such as anatomy and physiology, in your undergraduate studies.

Degree-seeking students must complete Math and English General Education requirements. They can be found in our Math and English Requirements video as well as the ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø Placement website.

The Dumke College of Health Professions Office of Admissions Advisement advises students interested in physician assistant (PA) school.

PA school is a professional program requiring a bachelor’s degree and specific prerequisites before admission. 

Our Pre-PA Canvas page is very helpful for students interested in PA school and we highly recommend joining. Email healthprofessions@weber.edu from your Weber State student email account to join the Canvas page.
