How to apply

Nurse practitioner and physician assistant programs

Students applying for the physician assistant or nurse practitioner programs must complete a Centralized Application System for Physician Assistants (CASPA) application and meet selection criteria. Following that process, a select pool of qualified applicants will receive an invitation to apply for UC Davis graduate admissions. All invited applicants must meet UC Davis graduate admissions requirements.

Online applications are now open for summer 2014 classes in both programs. Apply online through CASPA.
