"Request information" appears only on schools that CAAHEP or ABHES accredits and sends your request to that school; we may be paid for it. Other rows link to the school's own website. No school pays to be listed or moved up. Sources: IPEDS 2023-24 (prices and graduates) and the CAAHEP and ABHES directories.

How to read this list: accreditation, prices and graduates
CAAHEP-accredited program
CAAHEP has checked and approved the medical assisting program itself. People who finish it can take the CMA exam to become a Certified Medical Assistant.
ABHES-accredited school
ABHES approves the whole school. Before you count on the CMA exam, ask the school whether its medical assisting program is covered too.
Not CAAHEP or ABHES
Neither group lists the school for medical assisting; that is not a verdict on the school. The college itself can still be accredited by another agency. The CMA exam needs a CAAHEP or ABHES program; the RMA, CCMA and NCMA exams also accept other routes, such as work experience.
Price
Tuition and fees for 2023-24, with books and supplies when the school lists them, as each school reports them: for the whole program, or for one year of full-time classes (the rate for local students at public colleges). A yearly price is the same for each award the school lists.
Graduates
Students who finished between July 2023 and June 2024. Prices and graduates come from IPEDS, a yearly survey by the U.S. Department of Education.
