The 2022-23 admission cycle is closed.  The 2023-24 admission cycle will open late spring 2023.  The deadline for the CASPA and supplemental applications is September 1. The CASPA application needs to be complete (not verified) by September 1 to meet the deadline. CHA/PA has rolling admissions.

Required Materials for a complete CHA/PA Program Application

1. Verified CASPA application including three letters of recommendation.  The CASPA application is now open.

2. CHA/PA Program supplemental application and a nonrefundable $55 supplemental application fee. The supplemental application for the 2023-24 admission cycle will be available mid-May 2023.

CASPer dates are posted each year on the CASPer website in mid-March. The last CASPer date we will accept for the 2023-24 admission cycle is August 27, 2023. You will be required to enter your CASPA ID for the CASPer assessment.
