Columbus area schools for medical assistants

We may earn money when you use "Request information," which appears only on CAAHEP or ABHES accredited schools. It sends your request there. Other rows go to the school website. No school pays for listing or a higher spot. Sources: IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.

How to read this list: graduates, prices and accreditation explained
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself was checked and approved by CAAHEP. To become a Certified Medical Assistant, graduates may take the CMA exam.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES gives approval to the entire school. Before relying on the CMA exam, ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
Neither group lists this school for medical assisting, but that says nothing against the school itself. A different agency might still accredit the college itself. A program that CAAHEP or ABHES accredits is required for the CMA exam. Work experience and other routes can also qualify you for the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
Price
Tuition and fees are for 2023-24. Schools report their own costs, plus books and supplies when they list them. The figure covers the whole program, or one year of full-time classes (for local students at public colleges). Each award the school lists has the same yearly 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 price and graduate data.
