Rochester Campus
Health Professions B.S.UM Rochester
UMR Chancellor's Office
The Bachelor of Science in Health Professions (BSHP) is an educational collaboration between the University of Minnesota Rochester and Mayo School of Health Sciences. The curriculum has a broad focus and includes rigorous science foundations, liberal education, and prerequisite courses selected to meet the need for deeper academic preparation in health professions. Students majoring in the health professions are admitted into one of four tracks: Echocardiography, Radiography, Respiratory Care or Sonography. Academic coursework is coordinated with clinical rotations at Mayo Clinic to optimize the learning experience. The BSHP program prepares students to become certified health professionals in select allied health fields where increased technical complexity and strong cognitive abilities are needed due to specialization and new technologies in health care.
