Physician Assistant Studies Program

Bryant University is committed to training outstanding physician assistants who can provide competent, patient-centered care. To accomplish this, our Physician Assistant Studies program has agreed to reserve two seats in each new cohort for qualified Bryant students. Bryant undergraduates who have applied to the PA program and who meet all published minimum criteria for admission will be extended a one-time offer to interview for a seat in the incoming PA class. Admission to the PA program is contingent upon a successful in-person interview and recommendation for admittance by the PA Admissions Committee.
