Overview

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant Inc. (ARC-PA). The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted accreditation-continued status to the Towson University/CCBC-Essex physician assistant program sponsored by Community College of Baltimore County. Accreditation-continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.

Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the Physician Assistant Studies program by the ARC-PA will be Towson University /CCBC-Essex September 2023. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.
