M State's Medical Administrative Assistant AAS prepares graduates to work in a variety of medical settings, handling all types of administrative duties for private practices, hospitals and clinics. The inclusion of liberal arts courses in the program prepares graduates to expand the traditional role of medical office assistants and move into leadership roles.

Program graduates are highly trained medical office specialists who are prepared to accept responsibility for the coordination of the medical office functions and patient billing processes that comprise the business of health care facilities. Successful medical administrative assistants have excellent communication skills and exhibit a high degree of professionalism.

M State has an articulation agreement with Minnesota State University Moorhead which allows graduates of the Medical Administrative Assistant AAS program to transfer 50 program credits into MSUM's bachelor's degree in Health Services Administration.
