The college’s PA program is a 28-month, 108 credit hour program filling a much-needed gap in healthcare employment regionally and nationally.

Classes are held at Milligan’s Ballad Physician Assistant Center on the college’s campus, with clinical partnerships throughout the region. Learn more at www.milligan.edu/pa.
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation–Provisional status to the Milligan College Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Milligan College. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class.
