Medical assistant schools across the Austin area

Only schools accredited by CAAHEP or ABHES display "Request information"; your request is sent to the school, and we may be paid for that. Links in other rows go to the school's own site. No school pays to appear on this list or to move higher. Sources we used: IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, plus the CAAHEP and ABHES directories.

A guide to the list: graduates, prices and accreditation
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. To become a Certified Medical Assistant, people who finish can take the CMA exam.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES approves the entire school. Ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered too before you count on the CMA exam.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
The school is not listed for medical assisting by either group; this does not judge the school. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is required for the CMA exam; the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams also allow other paths like work experience.
Price
Each school reports its own 2023-24 tuition and fees, plus books and supplies if listed: the cost covers the whole program or one year of full-time classes (what local students pay at public colleges). Each award the school lists has the same yearly price.
Graduates
This counts students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual survey from the U.S. Department of Education, provides the price and graduate data.
