The Big Question: What are you passionate about? 

Preparing graduates for future health care careers is what we do. And we do it well. This singular focus doesn’t mean a singular outcome. It’s actually quite the opposite. 

At University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), your career options are limited only by your drive and dedication. While UMR offers paths to several defined careers you’re surely familiar with, such as physician assistant, nurse and pharmacist, we encourage you to look beyond these familiar patient-facing roles. The health care universe is vast, vibrant and constantly growing, and it needs innovative thinkers ready to take on new challenges. It needs you.
