Steps to Be Considered for Acceptance

Please note that meeting the minimum requirements described below鈥攊ncluding conducting an interview with the program chairperson鈥攄oes not guarantee acceptance into the Hybrid Diagnostic Medical Sonography diploma program. Due to limited capacity, only a select number of students can be accepted.

Applicants placed on the program waitlist are welcome to submit one additional application in a future admissions cycle, up to a maximum of two total attempts.

We suggest all DMS applicants spend at least one day of observation in an ultrasound (sonography) department at a local hospital or other clinical facility shadowing a sonographer for the purpose of learning about the field聽and the day-to-day responsibilities of a sonographer.

All components of the approval process are considered in making the decision to accept a Hybrid Diagnostic Medical Sonography student. The ability to identify student applicants who have strong critical thinking skills and the desire to apply those skills is an essential component in the decision-making process.
