Health Sciences at St. Cloud State University

AFFILIATED HOSPITALS

(scroll down to see all hospitals) ; for all hospitals that require transcripts except St. Joseph's Hospital, wait until Fall grades are available before sending transcripts. Students need C- or better in all math and science courses. Practically speaking, students need a C or better in all math and science courses so that GPA in the major is above 2.00 (which is required for graduation).

According to the hospital director, that requirement is "not set in stone" and our students are encouraged to apply. Note 2: Send your official transcripts (in a sealed envelope) with your application materials well before the hospital admissions deadline; the transcripts will show your Fall semester courses "in progress." Ask the SCSU Office of Records and Registration to send a second set of official transcripts directly to the hospital once your Fall semester grades are recorded. In other words: don't delay your application but the hospital does need your Fall semester grades.
