Supporting Your Success
"I've been surprised by all the things BCM offers that I didn't know about. There are people to help you build your resume and conduct mock interviews and the program really encourages us to be involved in advocacy, advocating both for ourselves and our profession." - Carla Roberts, DNP, CRNA, Class of 2020
Our expectations for our students are high and our students are driven. However, we recognize that even the smartest, most passionate students need and deserve help and support to reach their full potential.

Beyond the Classroom and Clinic
Credit
Beyond the classroom and the clinic, our students have robust opportunities to explore other interests and balance other aspects of their lives whether raising a family, honing musical or artistic talents, competing in sports or leading community service initiatives.
The College sponsors many activities for students that range from formal ceremonies and award programs to social events, community service events and special activities. There is an athletic facility on campus as well as intramural leagues for those interested in sports.
Our location in the heart of Houston, the nation’s fourth-largest city, provides many opportunities to pursue outside interests as well. Hermann Park, which is right next door to the Texas Medical Center, offers trails, a public golf course, the Houston Zoo and an outdoor amphitheater. To the west are Rice University and the Rice Village Shopping Center. Directly north is the Museum District’s 18 art organizations, and just five miles further north is downtown, the hub of Houston’s restaurants, clubs, theaters, and sports stadiums.
