 Hey guys, it's Adana. I have a really quick announcement for you. If you're trying to get into PA school, I want to help you. That's why I'm offering a 60 minute consultation session with me personally via the phone or video chat. Why will help you personally develop a plan to help get you into PA school? For the video with the full details on how we're going to get that done, go ahead and head to the description box below because there'll be a link there or it will be pinned to the first comment on this video. Or you can always just go on to my website at adanathepa.com and schedule your appointment today. Hope you enjoy the rest of this video. What's up you guys? It's Adana and I am back with another video for you guys. Today I'm going to be making a video about what major is the best major for PA school. And I know many of you who are pre-PAs or you haven't even finished graduating high school yet you're going into college, you're trying to figure out, well, I want to be a PA. So what major is the best major for me? So this video is definitely for you. So my main thing that I always tell everyone is that anything in the sciences or allied health is what my school called it. It was pretty much anything that wasn't a pre-med major. So nursing, pre-dentistry, I don't really understand. I thought there was another one, healthcare management. Those different things that had a very core science base, but yet they still had some extra intangibles added on because it wasn't strictly science and pre-med. Those majors are great majors to go into if you really want to be a PA. I say the sciences because they will get you most if not all of your prerequisites for PA school. Many PA programs, it's highly medical and medicine based. It's just like going to your first two years of medical school or all four years of medical school just crammed into two years. So it's best for you to have a medical background. I say do this because if you were, let's say a music appreciation or a fine arts major, you may get some of your core sciences. You may have to do biology or some type of lower division science course. You may have to do a sociology or some one of the entry division social sciences, but you're not going to get all of your upper level and upper division science courses and social sciences that you require for PA school. For instance, you're not going to have to do cellular and molecular biology. You're not going to have to do microbiology, which a lot of schools require. You might just need to do like a chemistry or biology. So if you graduate with that degree, then you're going to have to take time to now go back to either your school, which probably costs a lot of money, or go to a community college, which still is money that you shouldn't even necessarily need to be spending and take a whole bunch of classes over at least 12 because they know most of them are like, they're 12 different prerequisites that are required for PA school just to get in. And that's extra money that you could have kind of saved yourself if you already know for sure that you want to be a PA. If you don't know for sure that you want to be a PA and you may want to do something else, then definitely go ahead with the major of your choice and you will be fine. So just to prove my point to you guys, I have my handy phone and I am going to show you guys exactly what I'm talking about with respect to just a biology major and just like a random PA school. So I'm going to just choose a random PA schools prerequisites to see what they require. And I'm going to choose a random schools biology major to see what they offer you in that major and see how it lines up. We're going to compare and contrast and then you'll be able to see exactly what I'm talking about. Okay, so I'm going right now. I don't know what we're going to go to like PA.org because they are just number one with respect to having all the information needed for PA school like anything that you may want to know, you should definitely go to that website because it has all the schools listed developing programs, what they require, what they don't require. So I'm here. This is we're going to just choose, I have a couple of schools listed that don't require a biology bachelor's degree. I'm going to do Pacific University. I have no idea. It's in Oregon Pacific University in Oregon. They already have continuing accreditation status. So let's see what their requirements are. Okay, so we have their science coursework. They require anatomy and lab, biology, chemistry, organic physiology. It has checked off all of the different levels. So you need a lower level chemistry and an upper level chemistry, which usually is like biochemistry for some schools. They don't, oh, they require you to have your CPR. So that's something else. Math, they require statistics and sociology. So those are just general requirements for Pacific University. And then let's check some, another one out too. Let's go to, who are we going to go to you guys? Let's go to Marquette in Wisconsin. Marquette University in Wisconsin. Let's see what they have. Oh, they don't really have that many requirements, you guys. So they have a lower level anatomy, biology, they chemistry, math, medical terminology. Okay. And you know what, actually I'm going to take this off because this says not required. But I'm not, I'm going to take it off because that's going to show, it's going to show me all the schools that don't allow you to just go straight into PA school from high school. So let's go to Bryant Universe. Now they have provisional status. So let's go somewhere that actually is continuing. Baylor. Okay. So they have anatomy, biology, genetics is what they have listed there. They have microbiology, chemistry, they want you to have biochemistry, general chemistry and organic physiology. They want you to have an English, a statistics and abnormal psychology. Okay. So now let's go to like a random, just regular undergraduate college or, you know, just some random college. Look at me. All right. So what college we're going to go to? Let's go to LIU. Oh, BS in biology and LIU. There we go. All right. So if you do biology, what are you going to get? You're going to get your English composition. Isn't that one of the requirements that they had you required for? I think it was Baylor. You're going to have math. So you can do, it has, it requires you to do eight credits in math. So I'm pretty sure you can get your statistics in there. And then you have general and inorganic chemistry. You have pre-cal, you have Cal. You have organic chemistry. You have your general biology. You have your micro, no, which one is this? Molecular biology. That's cell biology. You have biochemistry, genetics. And that's it. 120 total credits. And you can, you can probably switch out some of these biology courses as well. So right there, you have the majority of all of your prerequisite courses laid out for you in your courses required for you to graduate. So just make things easier on yourself. Honestly, if you really know for sure that you want to be a PA, then look at the schools that you're trying to apply to in terms of PA school, see what their requirements are. It's not going to change drastically within the next four years that you're in school. Usually changes happen within like a five year period. So it's not going to like truly change dramatically, but you should always keep up on it because you don't want any new changes to affect your chances of getting in. So definitely go ahead, do that, look at the school, see what they require. And then after that, go and see the school that you're trying to attend for college for your undergraduate degree. And look at those science majors, look at those allied health majors and choose the right one that's going to give you the majority, if not all of those courses that the schools that you want to attend require for your prerequisites. And you're set. That's it. That's all you have to do you guys. So I hope this was very helpful.
