University of Minnesota Rochester

Rachel Okeleye chose the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR) for its tight‑knit learning environment and access to Mayo Clinic. As someone who values close relationships, Rachel appreciated the small classes, which allowed her to thrive and  UMR’s close proximity to Mayo Clinic helped her gain high‑quality experiences, resources and connections as a pre‑med student.

Each semester, UMR recognizes students who have achieved high academic achievement through the Chancellor's List. To be listed, a student must have earned a 3.666 GPA or higher and completed a minimum of 12 credits graded A-F.

Current Bachelor of Science in Health Professions student Angel Lopez has been accepted into the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) Emerging Leaders Program. This one‑semester program mentors students as future leaders in the sonography field.
