Admissions
In order to be considered for the MSPA/MSHI Dual Degree Program, interested applicants must complete and submit a CASPA application by August 1. Be sure you have chosen the MSPA/MSHI dual degree program option on the CASPA application. Northeastern also requires a separate $75 application fee in addition to the CASPA fee. Please follow the instructions for submitting Northeastern’s $75 application fee in the “How to Apply” tab on the PA Program’s web page.
Both the CASPA application and $75 application fee must be at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Your CASPA application must also be verified by CASPA by August 31 at 11:59 Eastern time.
Admissions decisions for the MSPA/MSHI Dual Degree Program will be rendered in November. You must be offered admissions to the PA Program first and then your application for the dual degree program will be considered by the HI Admissions Committee. Additional information about the MSPA/MSHI option can be found on the FAQ page of the PA Program’s website.
Once you accept our offer to matriculate into the MSPA/MSHI dual degree option, you are automatically enrolled in that dual option. In rare circumstances, written requests petitioning to drop one of the two programs in the MSPA/MSHI dual degree option may be considered on a case-by-case basis and must be submitted to the Physician Assistant Program. Candidates may be requested to meet with the Admissions Committees of both programs. Permission to drop one of the programs is not guaranteed.
