<p>Which schools offer master’s degrees?</p>
<p>I belive that there is only one P.A. degree and, unlike nursing, there are no ascending levels (BA, MA, PHD in P.A. training). You probably know that the job of P.A. does not legally exist in all 50 states. See the program at the University of Washington in Seattle for one of the most competitive P.A. programs. Very hard to get admitted to.</p>
<p>My Mother has been a PA for a long time now. (Many hospitals, management, president of state association) and she went to Duke. I would assume they have a top notch program and are highly sought after by hospitals.</p>
<p>University of Florida has an excellent program.</p>
