It is accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assitant (ARC-PA), which is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In 1996, the program was extended to include instruction at Morehead State University. Now, 10 dedicated faculty members, two based at Morehead State University, and eight based in Lexington, provide instruction. Each year, 40 students are admitted to the Lexington campus, and 16 to the Morehead State site. The PA program also offers international opportunities for its students including some who choose to to their clerkship rotations in various countries including Kenya, Swaziland and England. There are also other opportunities within the college to travel internationally on short term trips to Ecuador and Mexico, with other partnerships developing as well.
