LMU-SMS Advanced Placement Policy for All PA Programs:
All students seeking a Master of Medical Science (MMS) degree must complete the full LMU-SMS Physician Assistant curriculum as designed by their program to be eligible for graduation. The program does not grant advanced placement, transfer credit, or credit for prior academic, professional, or experiential learning. Graduate-level coursework completed before enrollment—including courses taken at other institutions or during undergraduate or graduate study—will not be accepted toward the MMS degree. Students from other PA programs are not eligible for transfer.
The LMU-Harrogate PA Program does not provide a waiver of required coursework (in whole or in part) based on prior academic or professional experience. Transfer academic credits are not accepted. All students must complete all components of the curriculum in whole to be eligible for graduation.
