@ewho there are other schools for PA throughout the country that are not direct entry programs where the student could apply for admission. Believe me, I’m well aware of the competitiveness of admission to OT, PT, PA and SLP programs. 3+3 programs come with their own issues. They’re only beneficial if the student is absolutely sure of their major. If they are not, I recommend going the traditional route of getting an undergrad degree and then applying to grad school. If you enter a 3+3 program and change your mind, you are left without a degree or additional years of school to complete a degree.
