Pre-Physician Assistant Studies: Selecting a Major

Although many Truman students pursuing pre-physician assistant studies major in Biology, Health Science, or Exercise Science, it is not uncommon for majors in the humanities or other sciences to be welcomed applicants and accepted into physician assistant school.

Academic Advisors for Pre-Physician Assistant Students

It is essential that you become familiar with the different curricula and sequences available and ask your academic advisor how these fit within your interests and goals.  Most disciplines have advisors who are specifically selected to advise students interested in pre-health fields, and you should make a point to visit them regarding your decision or any questions you might have. Truman has a Pre-Health Professions Coordinator, and you are free to contact her as well.
