"Request information" shows up only where CAAHEP or ABHES accredits the school, and it sends your request there; we may get paid. Links in other rows take you straight to the school website. No school pays to get listed or move up. We used IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.
Understanding this list: accreditation, prices and graduate counts
- CAAHEP-accredited program
- The medical assisting program itself was checked and approved by CAAHEP. You can take the CMA exam after finishing to become a Certified Medical Assistant.
- ABHES-accredited school
- ABHES approves the entire school. Ask the school if the medical assisting program itself is covered too before you rely on the CMA exam.
- Not CAAHEP or ABHES
- The school is not listed by either group for medical assisting, yet that is no verdict on it. Another agency may still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is required for the CMA exam, while the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams also allow other paths like work experience.
- Price
- For 2023-24, schools report tuition and fees for the whole program or one year of full-time classes, adding books and supplies if listed; public colleges show the local student rate. Each award the school lists has the same yearly price.
- Graduates
- These are students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. Price and graduate data come from IPEDS, a yearly U.S. Department of Education survey.
