"Request information" shows only on schools CAAHEP or ABHES accredits; we send your request there and may get paid. The other rows go straight to the school website. No school pays to get listed or to move up. Prices and graduates come from IPEDS 2023-24. Accreditation lists are from CAAHEP and ABHES.

Understanding this list: look at accreditation, prices and graduate counts.
CAAHEP-accredited program
CAAHEP reviewed and approved the medical assisting program itself. To become a Certified Medical Assistant, graduates can take the CMA exam.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES grants approval to the entire school. Before you rely on the CMA exam, ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered too.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
The school is not listed by either group for medical assisting, yet that is no verdict on it. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. You need a CAAHEP or ABHES program for the CMA exam, while the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams allow other paths like work experience.
Classes held online
While coursework is online, clinical hours are always completed in person at the school or a clinic.
Price
As each school reports them, costs for 2023-24 cover tuition and fees, plus books and supplies if listed, for the whole program or one year of full-time classes (what local students pay at public colleges). Each award the school lists shares the same yearly price.
Graduates
These are students who completed their programs between July 2023 and June 2024. Cost and graduate numbers come from IPEDS, an annual survey that the U.S. Department of Education runs.
