Accreditation, prices and graduates: how to read this list
- CAAHEP-accredited program
- CAAHEP checked and approved the specific medical assisting program. You can take the CMA exam after finishing to 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 relying on the CMA exam.
- Not CAAHEP or ABHES
- The school appears on neither list for medical assisting; that does not judge the school. Another agency might still accredit the college itself. The CMA exam requires a CAAHEP or ABHES program; other routes like work experience are also accepted by the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams.
- Price
- For 2023-24, each school reports its own tuition and fees, plus books and supplies when it lists them. The figure covers the whole program, or a year of full-time classes (the rate local students pay at public colleges). The yearly price stays the same for every award the school lists.
- Graduates
- These students finished between July 2023 and June 2024. IPEDS, a yearly U.S. Department of Education survey, provides the graduate and price data.
