How to understand accreditation, prices and graduates in this list
CAAHEP-accredited program
CAAHEP has reviewed and approved the medical assisting program itself. You can become a Certified Medical Assistant by taking the CMA exam after you finish.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES gives its approval to the school as a whole. Before relying on the CMA exam, ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
Neither group includes the school on its medical assisting list, which doesn't judge the school itself. Another agency may still accredit the college. For the CMA exam, you need a program approved by CAAHEP or ABHES. Other routes, including work experience, also work for RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
Price
For 2023-24, schools report tuition and fees with books and supplies when they list them. Costs cover the whole program or a single year of full-time classes, using the local student rate at public colleges. For each award a school lists, the yearly price stays the same.
Graduates
This covers students who finished from July 2023 through June 2024. The U.S. Department of Education's yearly IPEDS survey provides prices and graduate figures.
