All courses required for the Physician Assistant (PA) degree must be successfully completed within the LMU-Tampa PA Program. The program does not award advanced placement for prior coursework. Graduate-level courses taken prior to enrollment in the PA Program, including those completed during undergraduate studies, will not be accepted for credit towards the Master of Medical Science (MMS) degree. For example, if the required course "Applied Anatomy" is taken prior to the first semester of the PA Program, it cannot be applied towards the MMS degree, and the student must re-take the course as part of the PA curriculum. Courses from institutions other than LMU-Tampa will not be accepted for credit towards the MMS degree. Transfer credits are also not accepted.
