The overview
FPU’s Round Rock Academic Center, located on the Ascension Seton Williamson Hospital campus, is the university’s home for its hybrid Master of Physician Assistant Studies program in Texas.
The 24-month program combines online learning with in-person clinical training, and the 7,000-square-foot learning facility in Round Rock serves as a space for students participating in the hands-on portion of the graduate program. University officials and community leaders celebrated this new space with a ribbon cutting during the second of four immersion weeks for program’s inaugural class.
