*The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Trine University Master of Physician Assistant Studies Program sponsored by Trine University.

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
