Admissions

The MSPA program at UMHB began the inaugural cohort in January 2021. Application for admission to the UMHB MSPA program will be available through the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) starting in April and closing August 1 each year. Applications must be verified by 11:59 PM ET on the deadline date. Accepted students will matriculate and begin classes in January of the following year. Admission to the UMHB MSPA program is extremely competitive. The Application Process page includes the minimum requirements, however meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee applicants an interview nor admission to the program with one exception – all UMHB undergraduate or graduate students who meet these requirements will be offered a one-time interview invitation. If the applicant is not admitted and reapplies in a future admissions cycle they are not guaranteed an interview. Applications will be evaluated at the time of submission. With the exception of required prerequisites, the program will not evaluate items added after the submission date.
