LDN1992 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hello Fellow PA peers, In the hunt for Florida PA programs, I stumbled upon South University - west palm beach. They are currently applying for accreditation and will have their first cohort in Jan 2021. Is anyone in this new cohort? Any opinions on this programs? I live very close to this campus so I am very interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD2012 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wow that's crazy they are trying again. They tried to start the program about 3 years ago and accepted a class. Start date got pushed back about 6 months, they could never get provisional status and eventually the website went down for WPB and pretty much told every accepted student tough luck. I know someone who was accepted, waited and waited, and had to apply another cycle and ended up going somewhere out of state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tann94 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Does anyone know if Biology 2 is required and if any other courses can supplement? I been trying to reach out to the program for weeks and can't get a answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you concerned about the program getting Accredation-Provisional? Edited May 28, 2020 by ChefKibbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFVC8 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I have the same question about biology 2!!! I asked them and they emailed me back saying that they will review this case by case. So they asked to send the class syllabus for genetics to see if they can substitute it. This was over a week ago and no response yet!

Being part of a first time program would be exciting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call and they said Genetics could be used as a substitution and to send in my genetics syllabus for them to review and confirm. Took a few days but she emailed me back and gave me a definite answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it just takes time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC2017 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes they did take it, and I believe the other South University will take genetics as a substitution as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFVC8 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 After like 3 weeks to hear back, my request to substitute bio 2 with genetics was denied. I guess they don’t allow it to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tann94 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I got a interview for next month. I’m extremely thankful. I just hope I get in and the program gets approved. Good luck to everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpAndComingPA Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hello everyone! So, a group of us just concluded our interview with the program. The program director and faculty are fantastic - you could feel their passion and excitement for getting students going and on campus. It was a great interview experience. We were the second group of interviewees. They told us we should hear back in about 1-2 weeks at most. I also wanted to address something that I'm sure many are nervous about: accreditation. The program did try to start up a few years ago but it didn't happen. The program director just up and left (this is what I found out from the faculty - so appreciated she was candid about this and told me unprompted). Dr. Gadalla, the new program director, is so clearly very committed, and that will not happen again. Also, their accrediation review occured a few weeks ago and went very well. I would be SHOCKED if they don't receive accreditation. They will find out in October. Great program - providing us with so many resources and learning opportunities. Great place to accept a seat offer if provided! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
