Curriculum

The "general PA curriculum" consists of two portions: the Pre-PA (i.e., pre-professional) phase and the PA (i.e., professional) phase. The Pre-PA phase is comprised of the first and second years of the general PA curriculum and includes the PA program-designated courses that serve as the prerequisites for the PA phase of courses AND the courses used to satisfy Butler's general education core curriculum. The PA phase is comprised of the third, fourth and fifth years of the general PA curriculum and includes the courses of the PA program proper.
