navyflyPAC Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There's no posts because most schools you see on here are post baccalaureate programs. Duquesne is Freshman entry only. 5 year program. Ranked 12th in the country by the Journal of Physician Assistant Education. This is the ranking that matters (not US News). So yes, it's a very good program if you're a high school student and want to be a PA. It's 5 years long and awards a Masters of Physician Assistant Studies. I was the last of the transfers/post baccs and am in my second year (5th year of the program). Most people that check these boards and post already have undergrad degrees and apply to post baccalaureate programs. That's why you don't see anything here. Same with Gannon. There stopped being new posts when they shut down the transfer and post-baccaleurate route last year. http://newsroom.duq.edu/2011/04/01/physician-assistant-graduate-program-ranked-12th-in-the-nation-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonD Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Navyfly73 got it all right. DU seems like a really good program. My daughter was accepted at DU but got a better athletic scholarship from another school and will be going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
