<p>I was told to ask this here. What are some good P.A programs (that are not B.S/M.S dual programs) in NY and the surrounding states?</p>
<p>[Physician</a> Assistant Programs](<a href=“Home | PAEA”>Home | PAEA)</p>
<p>the ones that say B, M combined, those are the ones where you have to be in their undergrad program in order to be in their graduate program right?</p>
<p>Yes…there is a key on the site.</p>
<p>RIT has a decent PA program, with good placement record.</p>
<p>RIT is a duel program though.</p>
<p>Actually there is very little dueling at RIT–except for those crazy guys in Society for Creative Anachronism.</p>
<p>Technically, RIT’s PA program isn’t dual enrollment either–it’s a combined program with a compressed (3 year) undergrad portion.</p>
<p>I called up and they said you have to be enrolled in their B.S program.</p>
<p>^^^Um… that’s what a combined program means. </p>
<p>You need to be enrolled in that particular undergrad program and meet certain performance standards in order to be admitted to the MS portion of the program.</p>
<p>A dual enrollment program means you’re enrolled in BOTH programs at the same time. (Which you’re not in a combined program.)</p>
<p>That website doesn’t even say that RIT is a combined program. It only say that it offers a B in PA.</p>
<p>It’s combined (see below link), and they’re transitioning as of 2011 to the BS/MS program exclusively; the BS-only program should be phased out within the next year or two.</p>
