Physician Assistant Studies - Link to Department
Master of Science
Please Note: Completion of admission requirements does not guarantee an interview or admission to the program.
How to Apply
To apply to the Physician Assistant program, you must do the following:
- The applicant must successfully complete admission requirements
- Complete the professional program application through CASPA and submit all supporting documentation by September 1
- Complete the application for graduate admission for Spring/Summer term to WSU in December (required only if granted interview)
- Applications are available on CASPA in early May.
Program admission is competitive and completion of admission requirements does not guarantee admission.
****For those who have applied for the Spring 2010 admission (deadline was Sept. 1, 2009), the PAS program is accepting a P/F grade for the Medical Terminology course, but the applicant must have their instructor send us the students course progress that would translate into a grade. If they cannot get this or the instructor won't do it, we do not accept the course and they need to retake it. They are to have the instructor send the grade translation directly to paadmit@wayne.edu*****
Wayne State University PA Studies deadline definition
The Wayne State University PA Studies Program deadline for September 1st means the following:
- CASPA must have a complete application on or before September 1st. An application is not complete until:
- All transcripts received
- (2) recommendations received. The WSU PAS Program also has the additional requirement that the 3rd recommendation must also be received at CASPA, on or before September 1st in order to be considered.
- Completed application form & fees received
All applications not complete with CASPA on or before September 1st deadline will not be considered.
- WSU PAS Program must receive all supplemental application materials (GRE scores, TOEFL scores, resume, official community service documentation and foreign transcript evaluations) by September 1st. Any late materials will not be reviewed/accepted and may make your application incomplete.
The WSU PAS Program urges all applicants to make sure all application materials reach CASPA and the WSU PAS program office on or before the deadline date, in order to meet these requirements.
It is the responsibility of the applicant (not CASPA or WSU PAS program faculty) to insure that recommendations are completed in a timely fashion. As always, we strongly recommend applicants to have their recommendations completed electronically.
As always, the WSU PAS Program and CASPA continue to encourage applicants to frequently check the status of their application online with CASPA and to direct questions or concerns with their application, as soon as possible, to the CASPA customer service department.
As in previous years, prerequisite coursework must be completed by December 31 of the application year, and the bachelor’s degree must be completed prior to the program start date.
