Logan University Physician Assistant Program prerequisites

lab

"General Biology I with lab." One semester, and Logan states no credit hour figure for any prerequisite.

2 semesters · 8 credits · lab

"General Chemistry I with lab." One semester only, not the two-semester sequence the baseline assumes.

lab

"Organic Chemistry I with lab." One semester of organic, not the full sequence. Logan names organic rather than biochemistry, so the baseline's biochemistry line does not apply here.

Logan's required list names Organic Chemistry I with lab and no biochemistry course.

No English or writing requirement appears on Logan's prerequisite list, required or recommended.

1 semester · 3 credits

Most PA programmes ask for 1 semester · 3 credits and list it as required.

Statistics sits on Logan's recommended list, not its required one, alongside upper-level human science courses, physics, and pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics.

1 semester · 3 credits

General psychology. Many programs fold it into a broader social or behavioural science block that sociology or anthropology also satisfies.

2 semesters · 8 credits · lab

"Basic (lower level 100-200) Human Anatomy with lab" plus "Basic (lower level 100-200) Human Physiology." Anatomy carries the lab, physiology is listed without one, and Logan asks for the lower-division version specifically. "Combined A&P courses may substitute if completed as a 2-semester series with lab." No credit hours are published.

1 semester · 4 credits · lab

Named by nearly every program, usually 3 or 4 credits. A minority accept it without the lab, so read the school's own line before dropping one.

1 credits

Most PA programmes ask for 1 credits and list it as recommended.

Named outright in the required prerequisite list, not left to work experience. No credit hour figure is published.

500+ hours

"A minimum of 500 hours of direct patient health care experience," with examples including CNA, MA, LPN, RN, DC, PT, EMT and paramedic. "Hours obtained as a student (for credit or certification) will not be counted toward the 500-hour minimum." Increased consideration goes to applicants exceeding 500 hours or holding degree-level certifications, so 500 is a floor rather than a competitive figure.

500+ hours

Many programs publish one combined healthcare figure instead of splitting patient care from healthcare exposure; where they do, the number lands here. Median published minimum is 500 hours.

20+ hours

Under a fifth of programs set a shadowing minimum; among those that do the median is 20 hours and a handful ask for 100 or more. Several count shadowing inside their experience total rather than separately, and a few have dropped it from scoring entirely.

No published minimum

Only a handful of programs require a science faculty letter by name. An academic letter is welcome nearly everywhere and mandatory almost nowhere.

1 letter

Three letters total, of which "one letter must be from a professor, academic advisor, research mentor, or collegiate coach." Any discipline answers it, and Logan widens it past faculty to advisors, research mentors and coaches. "Letters from immediate family members or friends are not acceptable."

1 letter

Most PA programmes publish no minimum.

Logan "recommend[s] at least one letter from a medical provider (PA/MD/DO/NP)." A PA satisfies it but is not demanded, and the letter is recommended rather than required.

Logan's three letters are one from a professor, academic advisor, research mentor or collegiate coach, with a medical provider letter recommended. No employment supervisor letter is named.
