I’ve recently graduated with a GED and looking for a career in diagnostic medical sonography or ultrasound technology where can I find a school that offers and associates degree in this field in New York? In any of the 5 boroughs…….. my internet search has not been very successful and really want to find something asap
I am wanting to attend a major university like Rice, but I can not relocate for the next 2 years due to attending Rad Tech school. However, I want to get started finishing my B.S. It looks like internet courses are my only option; how can I find out if they accept students who can not be on campus? I can not find an admissions phone number. Help me, thanks!
I am looking for a school to do ultrasound but I want a Bachelor’s program, bot associates! I am in the Nashville area right now and I know Vanderbilt has a program , but does anyone know anywhere else on the east coast?
I don’t know what CUNY or SUNY means…..but,
When thinking about entering an ultrasound program, you need not be concerned so much about certificate vs. degree. What is important is that you go to an ACCREDITED program, whether it is college or hospital based. An accredited program allows you to take your registry (licensing) exams upon graduation. Once you get licensed, you will never be asked about your schooling again. An employer does not care what route you take to get licensed, they just want you to have that license.
Don’t waste your time or money on a NON-accredited program. Upon completion and graduation from a NON-accredited program, you must work in the field of sonography for a full year prior to taking your licensing examinations. But, you will have a hard time finding an employer to hire you, unless you are licensed.
I would suggest you observe an imaging department to get an idea of what ultrasonographers do daily. There is much more to it than scanning pregnant women. Most people have no idea how much is involved in this career!
You can find a list of accredited schools in your area, by searching “diagnostic medical sonography” and your state at the following site. There are links provided for each program, which will give you additional information (including course duration):http://www.caahep.org/Find_An_Accredited…
Many people, myself included, go to school to become a radiologic technologist, before continuing to ultrasound school. In fact, it can be difficult to get into u/s school without the RT license. There are many more choices for schools for x-ray in most states. You can find them here, by searching “radiography“ and your state:http://www.jrcert.org/cert/Search.jsp
The pay for ultrasound technologists will vary, depending on experience and geographical location. The American Society of Radiologic Technologists just did a large salary survey. You can see how much a RT and/or ultrasound technologist averaged, per year, in your state here:https://www.asrt.org/media/pdf/research/…

I looked and didn’t find anything, besides for Grand Valley but that’s to far from me.
Hello i am looking into the idea of going back to school. I live in Michigan and i am having a horrible time trying to find a school in my area that offers a 2 yr degree in diagnostic sonography. I am also interested in anything in this field of sonography. Please let me know of any online programs out there or any schools that i am missing. Thank you
I am interested in becoming an ultrasound tech, but there are a lot of ‘bogus’ schools out there. I need to know which one sare the real deal, accredited, and whose credentials are generally accepted by medial facilities.
