Schools for medical assistants in New Hampshire

No school gets listed or ranked higher by paying. Data sources: IPEDS 2023-24 for costs and graduates, plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.

Understand this list: accreditation, prices, graduates
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. Finishing it lets you take the CMA exam and become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school
The whole school gets approval from ABHES. Do not count on the CMA exam until you 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, but this is not a verdict on the school. Another agency might still accredit the college. For the CMA exam, you need a CAAHEP or ABHES program. Other routes, such as work experience, also qualify you for the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
Classes held online
You do coursework online, but clinical hours always happen in person at a clinic or school.
Price
Each school reports figures for 2023-24: tuition, fees, and books plus supplies if listed, covering the whole program or one year of full-time classes (rate for local public college students). Each award the school lists shares the same yearly price.
Graduates
These students finished between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual U.S. Department of Education survey, provides the price and graduate data.
