Transfer Students

Am I a transfer student?

Yes: You are considered a transfer student to the School of Nursing if you have registered or enrolled at a college, university (including the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities), or any other school after graduating from high school.

No: If you are a high school student and are enrolled in PSEO, College in the Schools, International Baccalaureate programs or have earned AP credit and have not enrolled in college, you are not considered a transfer student. You will want to pursue the Freshman Nursing Guarantee Program path.

One program, two locations

Transfer students begin the program in Rochester at the start of their sophomore year. BSN students in Rochester enjoy being part of a smaller campus dedicated to students in the health sciences where some courses are taught in-person and interactive TV by faculty located on the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses.

Students also gain exceptional clinical experience at the Mayo Clinic, where more than 6,000 medical professionals address the health and treatment needs of patients from around the world each day.

Every student will have learning experiences in a variety of settings throughout the Mayo Clinic as part of their last two years of the BSN program. Students participate in classes with their peers on the Twin Cities campus, and will graduate as one cohort together upon the completion of the program.
