I was recently asked by a high school student about some kind of combined BS/PA programs. Does anyone know of any direct out-of-high-school programs that result in graduation from PA school?

There are three or four if I remember correctly.
The two that I can find off hand are
Saint Francis and Duquesne

Both of these programs are Masters and both programs also take in students with a Bachelors in addition. I think there are three or so others in the PA and NY areas.

I went to Philadelphia University. They have a 5 year combined bachelor/master's program. I just graduated and passed my boards yesterday, so they must have done something right!
