Physician Assistant Studies Linkage
The Agnes Scott PA program has linkages with all Post-Baccalaureate and Medical Sciences master's programs offered by Agnes Scott College.
That means that qualified students who are currently enrolled in one of these programs will be guaranteed an interview for admission consideration*, with the possibility of reaching their goal of becoming a physician assistant.
Participating Programs:
Agnes Scott College offers post-baccalaureate graduate certificate and medical sciences master’s programs that provide foundational science courses for students interested in pursuing a career in the health professions. Eligible post-bacc and medical sciences students can participate in the linkage program.
How it Works:
All students who meet the following qualifications will be guaranteed an interview for admission consideration*:
- Completed, verified CASPA application submitted by December 1, 2024
- Official transcripts from Agnes Scott showing a minimum of one semester of post-bacc or master’s coursework
- Students who apply as part of the linkage may have outstanding prerequisites by time of application, to be completed fall 2024 and/or spring 2025 at Agnes Scott
- Incoming GPAs (prior to matriculation into a participating ASC program):
- 3.0 minimum BCP and 3.0 minimum cumulative overall GPA
