Â鶹¹ÙÍø & Wales University offers a 24-month MSPAS. Our program offers 36 seats a year, and classes begin in June — with a mandatory Orientation in the latter half of May. We seek the most highly qualified students who have a demonstrated capacity to excel academically and show the most promise of becoming PAs who will exemplify our program’s mission. All applicants must be graduates of, or be in the process of, graduating from an accredited U.S. institution. A bachelor’s degree is required before matriculation. We are not currently able to accept applications from international candidates.
