We have provided a list of common pre-requisites necessary for admission to Physician Assistant programs for those pursuing STEM majors (including Biological Sciences, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology, Chemistry, and Physics). It is important to note that this list is not inclusive of all programs. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with schools you are interested in attending and determine what/if any additional requirements are needed. A printable copy of these courses can be found below.
