Medical assistant schools around Tucson

"Request information" is available only when CAAHEP or ABHES accredits the school, and your request goes there; we may be paid for it. The other rows send you to a school's own site. No school pays for a listing or for a move up. Our data comes from IPEDS 2023-24 for prices and graduates, and from the CAAHEP directory and the ABHES directory.

How to read this list: what accreditation, prices and graduates mean
CAAHEP-accredited program
The medical assisting program itself has been checked and approved by CAAHEP. After you finish the program, you can take the CMA exam and become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES accredits the school as a whole. Before you rely on the CMA exam, check with the school to see whether its medical assisting program is covered as well.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
For medical assisting, neither group includes the school on its list. This doesn't judge the school. Another agency may still accredit the college. For the CMA exam, you need a program accredited by CAAHEP or ABHES. Other routes, including work experience, are accepted for exams called RMA, CCMA and NCMA.
Price
Each school reports its 2023-24 tuition and fees, including books and supplies when listed, for the whole program or one year of full-time classes (the local student rate at public colleges). Each award listed by the school has the same yearly price.
Graduates
These are students who finished from July 2023 through June 2024. IPEDS, a yearly survey run by the U.S. Department of Education, provides the price and graduate figures.
