Butler online graduate programs are not eligible for an F-1 student visa.

Whether you’re a practicing PA or you recently graduated from an ARC-PA accredited program, Butler University offers an online path to the Doctor of Medical Science (DMS) degree that fits you.

DMS Degree Program

The 50-credit hour DMS program serves PAs who are interested in building on their clinical experience with more in-depth medical knowledge, leadership skills, and business acumen to advance within their workplace. Concentrations include Behavioral and Mental Health, Critical Care, Healthcare Practice and Administration, Orthopedics, and PA Education.

DMS Bridge Program

The 14-credit hour DMS Bridge program is uniquely tailored for new PAs who have graduated from an ARC-PA accredited program within the past six months and are interested in expanding their clinical knowledge, developing research skills, and stepping into a leadership role more quickly.

Designed for the Working PA

DMS Program

The Butler DMS program is a 100 percent online, asynchronous program that is designed to build upon your previous education and experience. Choose between six start dates throughout the year and complete the program at your own pace. All graduates from an ARC-PA accredited program are eligible for admission, and a master’s degree is not required.

Complete in Just Two Semesters

DMS Bridge Program

The online Butler DMS Bridge program enables new PAs to earn a DMS by incorporating 36-credit hours of clinical rotation experience. Building on recently completed coursework, the program can be finished in as little as two semesters. It begins with a seven-week, full-time didactic phase, followed by a semester-long Capstone Project. Students currently in clinical rotations can apply early to secure their seat for post-graduation enrollment.
