The Graduate Physician Assistant Program is housed in the Health Sciences building.
Master of Science: Medicine (Physician Assistant): Physician assistants are medical providers that are licensed to provide medical care in collaboration with a licensed physician. Physician assistants are qualified by graduating from an accredited physician assistant educational program and receipt of certification from the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants. Within the physician/PA relationship, physician assistants exercise autonomy in medical decision making and provide a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. The clinical role of physician assistants includes primary and specialty care in medical and surgical practice settings. Physician assistant practice is centered around patient care and may also include educational, research, and administrative activities.
The Graduate Human Performance and Fitness Program is housed in the Health Sciences building.
Master of Science: Human Performance and Fitness: This MS in Human Performance and Fitness (HPF) is an 18-month cohort-based program. It will educate, equip, and empower our graduates to mentor and lead their clientele in their knowledge of preventive health practices as well as fitness strategies. Equipping the student with advanced knowledge in human anatomy and physiology, biomechanical assessment, and aerobic and anaerobic training will provide the student with a holistic understanding of an individual’s need to complete a macrocycle training program. In addition to the Human Performance and Fitness curriculum, students complete an MBA Entrepreneurship and Innovation Certificate. The certificate will equip students to effectively lead and manage a health facility.
