The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Utah Valley University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Utah Valley 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.
The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-ut-valley-u/
Utah Valley University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
