The Associate of Applied Science degree prepares the student for an entry-level position as a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer for employment in hospitals and other health care agencies.

The Diagnostic Medical Sonographer produces, evaluates, and correlates ultrasound images and related data. Sonographers provide a summary of their technical findings to the qualified interpreting physician to aid in rendering a medical decision.

The curriculum consists of on-campus didactic and lab instruction, as well as off-campus clinical applications at our affiliated health care institutions.

The cohort-style program offers specialty training in the following options: abdominal sonography, echocardiography, obstetrical/gynecological sonography and vascular technology.  Clinical scanning experience hours and on-campus lectures and labs are scheduled during the day, however, a few required lecture courses are offered in the evening.
