Program Highlights

Eligibility

This program works well for North Hennepin Community College (or other Twin Cities-area school) Biology AS students, but others are encouraged to apply. Be sure to apply to BSU at least one semester prior to taking BSU courses. You may be enrolled at both NHCC and BSU simultaneously. Being admitted to BSU is required for taking upper level courses, and for graduating with the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree.
