<p>The title basically says it all but i'm just curious as to what classes are taken when you take that major. </p>
<p>Specifically, what math classes? Is it more statistics or calculus?</p>
<p>I don’t believe there are many or any places where you can get an undrgrad PA degree. Most schools you take classes simulair to what a pre-med would take. Look at some of the PA schools enterance requirements to give you an idea of what you need to take. You could also contact a pre-health care advisor at one of the colleges nearby and ask them what they suggest for people like you what want to go to PA school.</p>
<p>Here is an example Curriculum for the Master of Physician Assistant Studies.</p>

<p>Thanks for replying :)</p>
<p>Okay so its definitely a masters degree, if things go my way i will be at davis next year (really keeping my fingers crossed) and they have a good program for it. Could i get my BS in Biology or Psychobiology first or i definitely need to follow whatever pre-med courses in order to get into that masters program?</p>
<p>Oh & the curriculum looks good to me thank you. I dont see any math, do i really not need a math course? I know chem takes math and that class is the only one i’m not looking forward to.</p>
<p>My son is in a PA program right now and there is no math. He was accepted to it right out of high school. It’s a five year program.</p>
<p>
Wow, they have PA programs where you apply right out of high school? I didn’t even know PAs existed when I was in high school…</p>
<p>We didn’t even know P.A.s existed until the summer before son’s senior year. He was volunteering at a hospital, when one of the physicians advised him not to go to medical school, but to pusue becoming a P.A. instead. I literally spent hours looking at every P.A. program in the U.S. and discovered about 20 accelerated programs, with most offering guaranteed admission to freshmen.</p>
