Diagnostic Medical Sonography (BS)

Prepare for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography (ARDMS) certification—and a rewarding career as an ultrasound tech. Earning a bachelor's degree in sonography means you'll tackle more in-depth coursework and clinical experience than what you'd find in associate's program, which is the highest degree most schools offer. This elevated level of expertise will enhance your marketability to employers and better prepare you for advanced roles.
