tcd1976 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 This question is better suited to the Pre-PA Student section. There is typically no difference in pay between a BS or MS PA. If you seek a master's degree, you ensure your ability to practice in any state. All programs must confer a master's degree as of 2020 (I think that's the year). As a US citizen, one who possesses any bachelor's degree is only eligible for Federal student aid if seeking a higher degree (e.g., master's degree). Beyond these, find the program where you fit best. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LESH Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Kk...thank u...is it compulsory tht I do masters after my bachelors in pa..... It would depend upon: 1) the requirements of the state for licensure http://www.aapa.org/uploadedFiles/content/Your_PA_Career/Licensing_and_Certification/Resource_Items/Requirements%20for%20Licensure%20_Summary%20Chart_%2011-22-11.pdf 2) hiring practices in your area, Some faclities or orgainzations may require the graduate degree.
