Physician Assistant Admissions

The Sullivan University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences offers a unique, 24-month, year-round Master of Science in Physician Assistant program. Annually, our program accepts 50 students to begin the program each July. 

The PA program receives applications for admission and applicant credentials exclusively through the College Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA), a service of the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). 

The first step on your journey to become a physician assistant is to meet with a member of our admissions team. Our student-centered Admissions Advisors will guide you through the admissions process. Whether you plan to apply tomorrow or a few years from now, Scott Hendrix (502) 413-8988 shendrix@sullivan.edu and Jillian Misbach (502) 413-8978 jmisbach@sullivan.edu are here to help you!
