THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

MASTER THE PROGRAM. Marquette’s program consists of a two-year pre-professional phase and a three-year professional phase. Students graduate with two degrees — a bachelor’s degree in biomedical sciences and a master’s degree in physician assistant studies. Freshmen start course work in the biomedical sciences major. In the fall term of their sophomore year, students apply to the three-year professional phase of the program.

HIGH SCORES. Our National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants exam scores are consistently higher than the average. Pass rates are between 93 and 100 percent — higher than 88 percent of all other programs.

BIG-CITY PREPARATION, BIG-CITY OPPORTUNITY. You’ll have tremendous opportunities to learn in specialized medical environments. Just minutes from Marquette, you’ll find major teaching hospitals, hospitals renowned for neonatal intensive care, cardiac and cancer care and a nationally respected burn center.

PACK YOUR PASSPORT. Study with practicing physician assistants faculty with broad health care experience who spend four weeks every year on medical missions. You can join one of the health care excursions to places such as Belize, Honduras and Laos.
