MSPAS to DMSc Pathway

Seamlessly Transition from your MSPAS to DMSc

Augsburg MSPAS graduates have a streamlined pathway to earn their Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) degree, with reduced tuition and credit for courses taken in the MSPAS program. Augsburg’s DMSc program is intentionally designed to strengthen your PA career by supporting you as you transition from graduate to practicing clinician and preparing you to lead as an innovative clinician, scholar, advocate, and educator.

Program highlights for Augsburg MSPAS alumni include:

  • $80 per-credit alumni tuition discount
  • Up to 6 prior learning credits, allowing you to waive up to two required DMSc courses based on prior graduate-level learning.
  • Intentional course sequencing and modifications designed to support successful PANCE preparation and ease the transition into your first clinical role
  • Early-career mentorship opportunities, connecting recent graduates with experienced PA and healthcare leaders for guidance, support, and professional growth

*Credit for Prior Learning is subject to review and approval by the Program Director based on course equivalency, documented completion, and alignment with DMSc program learning outcomes.
