Curriculum

The overall "PA curriculum" consists of two portions: the Pre-PA (i.e., pre-physician assistant or 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 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.
