The ARC-PA has granted accreditation-provisional status to the St. Bonaventure University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by St. Bonaventure University. 

Accreditation-provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, 尚未招收学生的拟议计划似乎证明该计划有能力满足ARC-PA标准，或者当该计划持有认证临时状态时 在为第一批学生的毕业做准备时，似乎表明了在遵守标准方面的持续进步. 

Accreditation-provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class.

The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-st-bonaventure-university/
