Students interested in the Mayo School of Health Sciences Echocardiography program must complete all prerequisites at ASU and a one credit medical terminology course from GateWay Community College prior to matriculation to the 21 month professional program at Mayo. Students must be accepted into the program, which has limited slots for admission. For admission criteria and application process go here. 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 the ASU academic success specialist 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. Students who begin the Mayo track but are not accepted into the Mayo program may choose another track in order to graduate with the BS in Health Sciences.
For those interested in working with hispanic/latino populations, the Spanish and Health track is ideal. Since the first course in the track, SPA 314 or 316, has prerequisites (SPA 313 or SPA 315), students should either have taken one of those courses or they should schedule an appointment on the Downtown campus with Dr. Barbara Lafford for placement. Plan ahead to complete your prerequisites.
Students who plan to complete the track in Language, Speech and Communication must complete PHY 101 and BIO 160 to fill their Natural Science area of the General Studies requirements.
