Medical Assisting Program Update

Beginning in Fall 2025, the Medical Assisting (MA) Program has transitioned to a one-year format. The core MA coursework will be completed over three academic terms, followed by the MA Co-op experience in the fourth term. This updated structure is designed to provide students with a more streamlined, focused, and less stressful pathway to develop the skills necessary for successful placements in local medical clinics.

Including prerequisite coursework through completion of the clinical Co-op internship, the entire program can now be completed in five terms.
