Students may concurrently pursue the Health Sciences, BS program and the Mayo School of Health Sciences Echocardiography program. To pursue both programs, students must complete all prerequisite courses prior to matriculation to the 21 month professional program at Mayo. Students must be accepted into the Mayo program, which has limited slots for admission (learn more about admission criteria and application process). If a student is accepted for the program, completion requires the student to attend ASU to meet our remaining requirements in the summer prior to the beginning of the program. Students must work closely with their ASU academic advisor to make certain all prerequisites have been met. Upon successful completion of the Echocardiography curriculum at Mayo, the student must have the credits transferred back to ASU for acceptance as a block. At that time, the student may apply for graduation from ASU with the BS in Health Sciences. |
