Elon Physician Assistant and Clinical Mental Health Counseling programs to hold Charlotte Open House

The two new School of Health Sciences programs at Elon University in Charlotte will host Open Houses in July.

Elon University’s new Charlotte Physician Assistant program and Clinical Mental Health Counseling program will host informational Open Houses on July 22 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the university’s Charlotte campus.

Beginning in Fall 2026, Elon will launch a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) at both the university’s main campus and Charlotte national campus to address the growing need for licensed mental health counselors in the region and across the country.

At the CMHC event, attendees will:

  • Hear from the CMHC Program Director about program structure, clinical training and professional pathways
  • Connect with faculty members and connect with fellow students
  • Participate in small group tours of the Charlotte campus facilities
  • Engage with Graduate Admissions staff for guidance on next steps or program resources

The PA program in Charlotte will be the Queen City’s first, with the university expecting its inaugural class in January 2027.

During the PA event, attendees will:

  • Hear directly from the Charlotte PA faculty/staff about curriculum, clinical experiences, and program outcomes
  • Connect with faculty members and gain insight into the student experience
  • Participate in small group tours of the Charlotte campus facilities
  • Connect with Graduate Admissions staff to discuss the application process and next steps
