Program overview
Le Moyne College offers a 24-month Master of Physician Assistant Studies program in New York, holding ARC-PA Continued accreditation and awarding an MPAS degree upon completion. The program is scheduled to begin in August 2027 and accepts applications through a regular review cycle, meaning all materials are evaluated after the October 1, 2026 deadline has passed rather than on a rolling basis.
The mission centers on preparing clinically competent PAs capable of practicing across a diverse and evolving healthcare landscape. Coursework is structured around case-based, organ-based, systems-based, and problem-based learning approaches, which together emphasize clinical reasoning and integrated application of knowledge rather than purely didactic instruction.
With a minimum required GPA of 3.20 across overall, science, and prerequisite coursework, and matriculant averages sitting at 3.4 in both overall and science GPA, the program draws applicants who are academically solid but does not demand a near-perfect record. Notably, paid direct patient care and healthcare experience are both recommended rather than required, making this a program that can work for candidates still building their clinical hours, though stronger exposure will remain competitive. Applicants may have up to two outstanding prerequisites at the time of application.
The incoming class size of 75 is relatively large for a PA program, which may suggest broader capacity for diverse applicant backgrounds. The program accepts both out-of-state and international applicants and does not offer distance learning or a part-time pathway, so candidates must be prepared to commit fully on-site for the duration of the program.
Total tuition comes to $106,800 with no differentiated in-state or out-of-state rates, and a seat deposit of $750 is required upon acceptance. Three letters of reference are required. Interviews are conducted in both traditional and group formats, and an onsite interview is not required, which reduces the logistical burden for applicants traveling from outside the region.
Applicants should weigh whether Le Moyne's active learning curriculum model, its flexibility around patient care requirements, and its large cohort environment align with the kind of training experience and peer community they are seeking.
