Bachelor of Science in Health Professions (BSHP) Prerequisite Course Guide
Use this guide to determine which courses at other accredited institutions will satisfy admission requirements for the BSHP at the University of Minnesota
Rochester (UMR). These courses are not necessarily direct equivalents to UMR, but will fulfill prerequisite course requirements for the BSHP. Students are
strongly advised to complete all University of Minnesota Liberal Education requirements prior to beginning the BSHP. The Sonography and
Echocardiography tracks also require completion of a Certificated Nursing Assistant (CNA) course.
