Accreditation
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Trine University Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program sponsored by Trine University. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and
resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has
not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the
ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears
to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for
the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students.
Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It
is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class. 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or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards.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
date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be October,
2022.
