Schools for medical assistants in Arkansas

No school gets listed or ranked higher by paying. We use IPEDS 2023-24 (prices and graduates) plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.

How to read the list: accreditation, prices and graduate counts

CAAHEP-accredited program: CAAHEP checked and gave approval to the medical assisting program itself. After finishing the program, you're able to take the CMA exam and earn the title of Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school: ABHES gives approval to the whole school. Before counting on the CMA exam, ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES: Neither organization lists this school for medical assisting, which does not judge the school itself. Another agency can still accredit the college itself. For the CMA exam, a CAAHEP or ABHES program is required, but the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams also allow routes such as work experience.
Price: As each school reports it, here is tuition and fees for 2023-24, plus books and supplies where listed, covering either the whole program or a year of full-time classes (the local-student rate at public colleges). Each award the school lists shares the same annual price.
Graduates: These are students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual U.S. Department of Education survey, provides the graduate and price data.
