Admissions

The admissions committee takes a holistic approach to evaluating each application, looking beyond minimum requirements to understand the applicant’s potential contributions to the classroom, program, profession, and broader community.

What We Look For In Our Applicants

Evidence of maturity, motivation, academic potential, communication, and interpersonal skills, knowledge of the PA profession, the healthcare system and the unique mission of the UNC PA program are strongly considered during the admission process.

The Admissions Committee reviews all portions of the application with special focus on:

• Alignment with Program Mission and Goals
