Program Performance on NCCPA Certification

To practice in New York State, students must successfully complete an accredited physician assistant program and pass the certifying examination administered by the National Commission of the Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and the National Board of Medical Examiners.

Pass rates for first-time takers on the NCCPA certifying examination have been consistently high. Below is a table that provides the program鈥檚 board pass rates for the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE) compared to the national average for the past year. This data is updated at a minimum twice yearly in January and July as supplied by the NCCPA.

Requirements For Graduation

There are two things that happen once a student completes the requirements for a degree at any University: a graduation ceremony and the conferral of a degree/diploma. While everyone looks forward to the graduation ceremony, the conferral of the degree/diploma is the most important part. Both state licensure boards and the NCCPA require proof of degree conferral (not graduation) in order to grant licenses and permission to sit for the boards.

For the conferral of the degree/diploma, students must complete the University鈥檚 鈥淎pplication for Graduation and Diploma鈥 prior to their January graduation/conferral date. The University has very specific deadlines for submitted this application which can be found here, along with the actual application.

This Application for Graduation and Diploma is what triggers the University Registrar to review the student鈥檚 academic records to ensure compliance with all Program and University degree requirements (including the payment of any outstanding balances owed to the University. Once this process is complete, students will receive a Degree Verification or Degree Works notification via email. Any discrepancies can then (hopefully) be addressed and resolved prior to graduation and conferral of the degree.
