glitters1 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have done my GED and applied to kingsborough community college in NY. I am really passionate about becoming a PA! I'm 24 years old. I am a bit confused about how this program works. They have a "pre-req pa" transfer option in this community college. http://www.kbcc.cuny.edu/apdegree/pages/KCCBIO.aspx#PHYSICIANASS That is the link. If you scroll down you will see where it says " Physician Assistant Transfer Option " What exactly does this transfer option mean? Do I have to complete 4 years in a community college to apply to a PA school or do I have to complete 2 years at a community college before I apply to a 4 year school which offers the PA bachelor program? If anyone knows or who has experienced doing a PA transfer option please let me know how it works! And how many years it takes for you to take the pre-reqs. Since I have my GED I am having difficulty applying to a 4 year college, but then again I came across this transfer program they offered at a community college. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossbone2007 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 The transfer option means that if you know that you want to be a PA then that's the requirement you need to complete to transfer to a 4yrs college to finish your degree as bio, for example, and then apply to a Master's. It could also means that the core classes to take to transfer to a dual degree program (BS/MS). Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
