I would start with researching schools to see which programs will accept your degree.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted January 21, 2018 Administrator Share Posted January 21, 2018 No, a US-based bachelor's isn't necessary; there are programs who do international educational equivalency evaluations. TOEFL may be necessary if appropriate, of course. Yes, one can have a bachelor's in anything. I did a LOT of coursework--about 45 semester hours, off the top of my head--to "upgrade" my IT degree to PA school prerequisites, and brought my GPA up in the process. You can too!

DarcyJ Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I was a dental hygienist for eleven years and finished my bachelor's degree along the way. Got it in Management and Organizational Development. At the time, it made the most sense for how I could complete my BS before having kids. I hadn't convinced myself yet that I was going to buckle down and pursue PA school. Once I made that decision, I enrolled in the local CC here to take all of the prerequisites I needed. Ended up being six classes (with four labs) to meet the requirements of my first-choice school.And, from what I've read, it's not an uncommon path to PA school. Good luck!
