"Request information" shows up only where CAAHEP or ABHES accredits a school. Use it and your request goes to that school, and we might get paid. Links in remaining rows take you to each school's own website. No school pays for a spot or higher rank. We used IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.
Reading this list: accreditation, prices and graduates explained
- CAAHEP-accredited program
- The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. To become a Certified Medical Assistant, people finishing the program can take the CMA exam.
- ABHES-accredited school
- ABHES gives approval to 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
- Neither group includes the school for medical assisting; this does not judge the school. Another agency can still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is required for the CMA exam, but the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams allow other paths like work experience.
- Price
- For 2023-24, each school reports its own tuition and fees, with books and supplies included if the school lists them. The price covers the whole program or one year of full-time classes; public colleges use their local student rate for the year. Each award the school lists has the same yearly price.
- Graduates
- These students completed their programs between July 2023 and June 2024. The U.S. Department of Education runs IPEDS, a yearly survey providing these prices and graduate counts.
