North Dakota medical assistant schools

Not one school pays to get listed or ranked higher. We use IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, plus directories from CAAHEP and ABHES.

How to read the list: accreditation, prices and graduate counts

CAAHEP-accredited program: The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. After you finish, you can take the CMA exam and become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school: ABHES gives approval to the entire school. Ask the school if its medical assisting program is covered too before you rely on the CMA exam.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES: Neither organization lists the school for medical assisting, but this does not judge the school. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. A CAAHEP or ABHES program is needed for the CMA exam, while the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams also allow routes such as work experience.
Classes held online: You do coursework online, but clinical hours always happen in person at a clinic or school.
Price: Tuition and fees for 2023-24 come as schools report them, adding books and supplies when listed: prices are for the whole program or one year of full-time classes (rate for local students at public colleges). Each award the school lists shares the same yearly price.
Graduates: These are students who completed their studies between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, an annual U.S. Department of Education survey, provides the price and graduate data.
