Overview
The Mississippi State University-Meridian Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program (MSU-MPAS) is a rigorous 29 month program that recruits adult learners who have prior experience in health care. Our mission is to prepare PAs to practice and promote empathetic, primary care-focused medicine that serves the culturally diverse state of Mississippi. The MSU MPAS program begins in January.
Requirements
Applicants need a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited United States college and a minimum 3.0 cumulative or last 60 hours GPA on a 4.0 scale as determined by CASPA. Required: 80 hours of direct patient care experience, 20 hours of shadowing experience with a medical provider (DO, MD, PA), prerequisite courses and three letters of recommendation (one from a PA). The GRE has no minimum required score, and all applications must be submitted through CASPA.
