Physician Assistant MS
The value and demand for PAs in healthcare continue to grow. Since 2011, University of Bridgeport’s PA program has offered the Master of Science in Physician Assistant degree, providing a rigorous and comprehensive PA education.
Advantages of pursuing your degree through the University of Bridgeport PA program:
- Complete your degree in 28 months with classes beginning in January
- Curriculum that emphasizes a patient-centered approach
- Coursework dedicated to the care of diverse patient populations
- Emphasis on global health, integrative medicine, and preventive care

During my time as a UB PA student, I gained more knowledge, clinical skills, and lifelong friends than I ever could have imagined. The rigorous curriculum, combined with supportive classmates and dedicated professors, fosters an environment capable of producing competent and empathetic providers. I am confident that I am prepared to begin my career as a PA-C with the medical knowledge base and skill set I gained at UBPAI. If I could do it over again, I would choose UBPAI every time.

My experience here at University of Bridgeport’s Physician Assistant Institute has been nothing short of exceptional. The quality of education paired with the dedication and support of the faculty and staff has made my journey to becoming a physician assistant memorable. I could not imagine a career greater than that of a physician assistant, nor can I imagine a better way of achieving that goal other than attending UBPAI. UBPAI will always hold a special place in my heart, and I owe it my success!
